Colorized Comic Book Flats.

Out of the pages of history.

This week we met at Toywiz to play A Gentleman's War. Not wanting to lug Two hundred pounds of 40mm figures around Howard suggested we use the AWI Comic Book flats he has been amassing. The figures look great and Howard has done some converting to get a wider range of units. We could pretty much just set these figures out on the table and tell stories all night and it would fine, playing a game with them is that much more fun.

So on to the game. We set up a meeting engagement but as things turned out the Patriots were on the defensive and unable to coordinate any attacks. The pictures will tell the rest.

  The one lesson I learned was to always take pictures of flats from the side or a 45 degree angle. The game was lot's of fun and many there were happy to see the legendary figures from the past.
