Re: First Battle of Ypres

Thank you, Paul. We are putting together several scenario books at the moment. Needless to say, the table generated a lot of questions about how we had achieved the terrain contours. My thought was to include Hexon terrain 'maps', with each contour defined. I liked the templates that your team creat...

First Battle of Ypres

We were able to reproduce the terrain around Gheluvelt using the Hexon terrain system. The process has been described elsewhere. The After Action Report and photos can be found here.

Re: First Battle of the Marne

Thanks Graham. Fortunately I wasn't responsible for the historical accuracy of the flags :) Only the topography and the OOBs.

Re: First Battle of the Marne

More photographs here. They cover the set up for the second phase of our project. One photo shows all of the Hexon terrain laid out for the entire First Battle of the Marne.

Re: First Battle of the Marne

Here's another example of what can be put together at quite short notice now. This photograph shows the area to the east and south of Neufchâteau in Belgium. The town of Longlier can be seen in the distance. It was the scene of heavy fighting on August 20th 1914, in the prelude to the Battle of the ...

I have uploaded a more background information and some extra pictures. The page here has links to 'Plan...

Re: First Battle of the Marne

Thank you. The view of all the tables in the same area is even more impressive. The Hexon Terrain was brilliant for modelling the contours. I have some overhead shots of the whole set up before the cloths were laid over. With 22 boxes worth, it isn't the case that I don't like Hexon Terrain. I don't...
