We used my usual armies of British and German organised into 6-man Infantry regiments, 2 man cavalry regiments and guns with 3 crew.
Anthony waiting for some players and the action to begin:
I made the board over a couple of days the week before the show by laser cutting a mix of 4mm,3mm and 2mm mdf into 100mm square tiles. Hills are represented by an 80mm square on the tile representing the hill top, rivers are 2 layers of 2mm mdf, roads are engraved into the tiles. The trees are simple, representative shapes on the edges of the tiles as are the fields and the town area.
The forces consisted on 6 infantry, 2 cavalry and a gun on each side:

We also had a lot of interest in the Little Wars Revisited forum and the games day I have arranged for March 10th in Woking.
