Bob Cordery’s The Portable Wargame (TPW) is a great little game and can be used for nearly any period of war games you might be able to imagine.

Yes, I know, the title of my post doesn’t match the main theme, but it will make sense once you are done reading…

Recently, on Facebook, Robert Lloyd shared some photos of his English Civil War project. Robert has used Irregular 10mm figures for his game and I really like the look of his game.

Robert Lloyd’s 10mm Irregular ECW troops for TPW

The grid squares are 40mm and his terrain is mostly foam cut into shapes, 3mm thick bases covered in flock for hills. All in all a very nice, clean setup.

His playing surface/board is from Warbases and looks very nice.

This all has me thinking it may finally be time to start on my long delayed 30YW project. My current thinking is do do this in N-gauge, with my grid squares at 40mm or 50mm with terrain much like Robert’s. I could go larger; say Scruby 1″ (that would cause me to re-mold the range, which would be a good thing in itself), but I think the smaller size looks really good, so I’m leaning that way right now.
