...Excellent AAR, Herkybird, thanks for posting it!<br /><br />I like your simple but quite nice looking terrain! What are you using for the ground cover? It reminds me of a sheet of vinyl upholstery I used for my own Second Afghan War games for several years. It was fast & easy and also looked pretty good. Did you build the closely matching hill from scratch...?Mad Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668417524454209192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351448181728143134.post-80454912129550050282011-10-09T20:12:31.493+00:002011-10-09T20:12:31.493+00:00Thanks Paul!
