My wife was kind enough to buy me a brand new foldable 5' x 10' wargaming table, which can be split into two halves for skirmish gaming or pushed together for really big battles. It's in a nice shade of blue for naval and air wargames, although someone has decided to paint a white line down the middle, which spoils the overall effect a bit. I suppose it's for deployment zones, which would be quite useful when you want to avoid those awkward disagreements about just how far from the table edge you can set up your units? The boys were even kind enough to set it up for me on the patio and they are now testing it using some ping pong balls (not sure what that's all about?)
An excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful gift! :)
ReplyDeleteLucky man to have such a thoughtful wife
ReplyDeleteI have a similar wargames table in my basement, which I hope to use someday when it's not being used for storage! Mine came with a small fishing net and a couple of canoe paddles with very short handles.
ReplyDeleteO lucky man! My first wargames club used that kind of table.
ReplyDeleteI thought the net was to stop the dice falling off the edge?
ReplyDeleteI also have one of these fine tables awaiting use in my basement!
