My thoughts on In...Thanks for your comments on CCN. My thoughts on Inkerman are that Russian speed will be relatively slow. There are no cavalry to worry about. I have looked at the terrain using maps and photographs and it is very difficult for the Russians due to massive gradients and the scrub. It works against the British too once contact is made. Second, British firepower gives great range and hitting/penetration ability. This is reflected in accounts of the battle where small groups of British infantry hold off huge numbers of Russians in tightly packed columns. Finally, and this is where CCN comes in, is the fog of war and foggy weather. Will see how it goes. Right now I am designing the ground, which is not easy.<br /><br />BobBob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-39078912122146031642016-02-04T07:13:16.594-08:002016-02-04T07:13:16.594-08:00I've been wrestling CCN Inkerman for a while n...I've been wrestling CCN Inkerman for a while now, it's a tricky one as the situation requires the British to fight a holding action with very small forces. It's quite hard to balance that in a scenario. <br /><br />Very interested to see how you get on with this.

One idea that springs to mind is hexagonal pieces with building facades, or 2D trees glued round the edges. Figures could still be placed inside. Hills might be made with a smaller hexagonal or other shaped second contour placed on top with enough margin to suggest slopes, whilst still allowing room for troops to stand without falling over.<br /><br />Just a thought...<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
