Love the cards.. I keep 'trying' to make my own cards for activation.. As you and I have discussed before, I like the idea of personalizing the commanders.. I have made some cards for both ACW and Nappy commanders. My idea is to use them in card decks and drawn for activations. Cards have the picture (from Wikipedia where available) and basic stats.. It's all preliminary and I have not tested it yet. As far of painting the figs.. That's just about all I do, paint paint and paint. It's an obsession, Close to 5000 Epic ACW figures painted so far, AND 5 starter boxes of Epic Waterloo figures in progress too. It's nuts, I know. If we lived nearby I would paint up a unit for you every once in awhile. I have hexes from GHQ which I have made enough of for a small 4x3' board.. If anyone is familiar, or interested, they sell bags of Styrofoam hexes (unpainted) which can be made into anything you want, including the question below about the rivers being sunken to level with the ground. It's work though. I like the Kallistra hex system better for setting up faster and use straight out of the box, but have not purchased any YET.. Your board looks great! Be well and have fun, Get better soon.
I am kind of techonolgical challenged, and don't have any video footage and right now I don't have anything set up.. I paint A LOT, but hardly play at all, although I do dabble in trying to enhance game mechanics of Black Powder and the like. I have some very old and not very good pictures of a set up or two, but they are of poor quality. Maybe I will set up something soon. Be well. @@hexesandsoldiers6032
@@hexesandsoldiers6032 I don't know that the Hexon rivers would look any nicer, since they're rounded on the edges for some reason. It's the one downside I've seen to the system. But I agree, what you have going there looks great.
Your table is out of this world love it!very enjoyable. I totally understand your pain regarding painting..😂

Bruce, would love to see some video footage of your work/set up.

Is there any way to sink the river to the same height the ground level pieces?
Good question and yes but I thought of this after the fact and it would have been too much work to go back and make it so...

Cool looking. I had avoided miniatures for the reason of all the painting and storage.
