Squared Off

Well, I almost got a game set up today, but non-wargaming matters intervened for a couple of hours.

The Zouaves and Highlanders try it on. 

I did, however, get the new smaller grid marked on. It had belatedly occurred to me that the majority of my houses fit a 4" grid but over hang a 3" one in awkward ways. So, instead of each 12"x12" area which had been subdivided into 4x6" area now being subdivided into 16x3" squares, it has instead been subdivided into 9x4" squares.

Instead of repainting, I've just marked on dashed lines. Its clear up close, but from a distance the eye catches the larger coloured fields and woods areas. Needs some tidying and the hills will need work but I'm rather liking the effect. Next step will be to set up a game and see how it all works.

Oh look, my schedule for tomorrow is wide open......
