Rice Paddies

Gothcon XL is in just a couple of days and so is our game of Chain of Command set in Dien Bien Phu – Hell in a Very Small Place. It’s a participation game where you will play either Viet Minh or French Colonial Paras, like we did in our test-game a couple of weeks ago.

Here we have the finished rice paddies in fallow we started working on during our terrain weekend. It’s amazing what some paint and water effect can do.

I used this water effect for the first time. It didn't look too good as is, so I added some of the red-brown paint to get a muddy look. I wouldn't have minded one more layer of the guck, but it takes a couple of days to dry, though, and I don't want to risk it being sticky when I have to pack it up.

With that, everything on my list is done and packed. I’m ready for some games and if you happen to be at Gothcon do come by and say hi! We will probably set the game up on Thursday evening and play all through Friday and Saturday, even though I’m off to play some other stuff also.
