Three games played in 54mm toy soldiers (Red Britian and Blue France, 'course) using maps from classic wargaming literature and the early 20th-century rules from 'Developing the Portable Wargame' (which have maybe more of Wells' legacy in them than I initially realized):

1. Hooks Farm, by HG Wells: portlandlittlewars.blogspot.com/2022/11/hooks-farm.html

2. Green Ridge (aka Plattsville), by D. Featherstone (from 'War Games'): portlandlittlewars.blogspot.com/2022/11/green-ridge.html

3. St. James Road, also by D. Featherstone (from 'War Games'): portlandlittlewars.blogspot.com/2022/11/st-james-road.html

Hooks Farm is one of my favourite scenarios and one I have played quite often both on the table and the lawn....

Would also love to see your map campaign and counters once you get that off the ground...

Is that spackle, or grout or something?

The texture is Golden Coarse Molding Paste. Good stuff for adding texture easily.

There is a nice artist supply store in my neighborhood, which probably leads me to try products I might otherwise not even know about!

I'll have to look into that. I'm wanting to build some desert-themed buildings and lots of texture is a requirement.
