The Better One took some pictures of the #Poltava1709 with less emphasis on the ”grandeur” of it all! She was focusing more on some of the detail. I really like them! 1/3

Staying at a Friends house impressed that he had my favourite book on the shelf! Commenting on it, it turns out he had never read it and I gave it to him ten years ago! - anyway that Byron piece is always worth reading. #Poltava1709 It is a fine book and worth a read!

No work on the #Poltava1709 project this weekend. I have had the annual "debate" with Nick Dorrell on how we play the Commanders and the stickers attached to 65*65mm mdf bases. Looking forward seeing some of you at JOS in Sheffield next week, and share some pictures with you all!

Realised I needed to do more stuff for the #Poltava1709 project - some more Command Bases fast drying and then I left the 5 foot hill out in the torrential rain for 2 days! - not a very good idea kids! #FirstWorldProblems “I found myself on a soggy as hell hill, when I found you”

This year has seen less opportunity for hobby time than previously but, apart from some game aid embellishments, #Poltava1709 is now ready to be served! I hope it will look magnificent on the day! Joy of Six in 2 wks. Thanks for all the likes and comments during this journey! 1/3

While observing the Russian position on 20 June 1709, Charles XII was struck by a stray bullet, injuring his foot. This was one of the many unfortunate events before the decisive #Poltava1709 Battle! 6mm Baccus!

Ivan Mazepa sided with the Swedes, seeking to create an uprising in Ukraine against the tsardom, during the Russian Campaign, here a few of the Cossacks digging some trenches at the #Poltava1709 battle! Simple but I think it works! Engineers from Baccus!

Final check of Infantry for #Poltava1709 From top to bottom, Swedish lost battalions, Swedish Infantry that made it through the redoubts, Russian left, Russian centre, Russian right! This does not include the battalion guns the Russians deployed! Some tall order to fight through!

Just had the best time with the children with more later! Now back to the mat, I had planned to do it on the deck! - but that bloody Thor is above us bashing his hammer and the rain is pissing down. Wish they never went to Lindisfarne! Happy Father’s Day! #Poltava1709

#OML7 and all, but the show must go on! A lot of questions on the #Poltava1709 mat and today I am working on the completion stages for the 6 ft section with the Poltava town (not set up in picture), Swedish camp, hill, villages, Fields, etc. Darker sections will have trees.

Bought two sets of N Gauge painted rock scenery from eBay to add some small irregular features to the #Poltava1709 battlefield. Will work well with my other scales too. Lazy but effective! #shortcutsaresometimesshortcuts
