They are plywood, cut with a jig-saw into 300 x 300 mm^2 squares, sanded, painted green and then flocked. The oldest are around 25 years old, so have done okay, I guess. Elsewhere on this blog you'll see some larger (1200 x 1200 mm^2 and 1200 x 800 mm^2) 'squares' of foamed polystyrene that we did for the table at Julian's.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-48381639308546023772018-11-20T15:58:26.495+08:002018-11-20T15:58:26.495+08:00Great!

It's hard to believe it is nearly 10 years since we play tested both of these battles three times in preparation for our centenary series of six games Historicon 2009.
