Spanish Tercio de Sahara

French Saharienne Portee

Wargaming in Spain update

Just thought I`d post some photos of the ongoing work I`m doing to my wargames room in Spain

As you know I`m slowly 10kgs a trip moving my entire hobby to its final resting place in Spain, these early SOTCW Journals happened to be in a box file of magazines this time.

The room

various cheaply bought prints

Our 8` x 4 ` table

Magazines and rulebooks

Large terrain and buildings, these will eventually get proper plastic boxes

Shop display cabinet

Wall display cabinet

My darling found this as a "please take gratis" outside a charity shop in Swansea, all I had to do was make new shelves out of 5mm perspex sheet 😄

A pair of cheap cabinets from Lidl

Various palm trees

Arab village

fencing & walls

More boxes of figures

yet another cheap charity shop find (Spanish this time)

As was this collectors cabinet

German horse drawn guns

No German Army should be without horse drawn artillery!

Whilst we rarely have artillery on tabletop, it is possible such positions could be over-ran or feature in an advance or retreat type game.

These have been in storage for ages NOT mine, but acquired over the years, they needed repairing and the paint needed attention, i also assembled and based the third team who has a gun which came with one of those di-cast models.
