I started out in this hobby circa 1967, and the oldest figures still in my collection date back to at least 1973.

The excellent venue was a big help. Each of the four of us were responsible for setting up 3 or 4 tables (early arrivals helped too), as well as organizing and bringing some of the troops. Ja,es helped with the Tabl;e transition rules and the big maps for the C-in-C's, and James and Greg the warm up Katzbach game... very much a team project!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-11521464906210437822015-05-14T19:54:16.095-04:002015-05-14T19:54:16.095-04:00In awe at the amount of effort it must have taken ...In awe at the amount of effort it must have taken to achieve this.

Got the sides organized and the players set the troops set out. First turn started at about 10:40 AM. We finished up a little before 56PM. We ha the last of it packed up by about 6:15PM, and I was home by about 7:30PM.<br /><br />Pre game work - lots of painting by Joe and Greg, some by myself. Terrain work by Joe, Greg, James, and myself. Planing time for me for the game - probably about 50 hours over the past 4 months.
