Thanks Robin, glad you like it. Laying this one out was a bit tricky, originally intended to go East/West, but had to go North/South, ie, the longer way to make it work...............

Thanks Chris; within each time period I collect, there are certain things that speak to me. For Napoleonics, it's the colors and the combination of Infantry and Cavalry within each battle, for ACW, it's the classic Union blues and the Confederate greys with the butternuts mixed in, plus the sweeping troop formations, with WWII, it's the tanks and the fortifications and buildings.

I'm a buildings nut, must have over 100 of them; houses, shops, cafes, restaurants, factories, farmhouses, you name it, I've got it, plus there are so many iconic buildings from WWII such as the casino from Ouistreham, the Hartenstein hotel, Frost's HQ, the tractor factory in Stalingrad, on and on it goes.
