I'd forgotten how colourful that map was.

As what I need are the manpower level one counters I'm good for the moment, so there's no need to make a special journey to the loft.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-75877140592074409732017-08-26T17:27:33.372+01:002017-08-26T17:27:33.372+01:00I was about to suggest BGG but someone has beaten ...I was about to suggest BGG but someone has beaten me to it.

Sometimes people join in and talk turns to board games in general. Mrs Gary is also a player of board games, so we meet up to play Carcassone etc as well.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-77527508208834729412017-08-24T10:07:07.910+01:002017-08-24T10:07:07.910+01:00Colourful, not garish.

That's okay where te river is the hexside, but for wider waterways it's an issue. I drew them in by hand.<br /><br />Are you telling me you have an unpunched counter sheet you could scan?????Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-84653652738961687382017-08-24T06:10:57.670+01:002017-08-24T06:10:57.670+01:00I'd not heard of this one before.
