I'm a FFG clear sleeve junkie.  I should just buy packs of them in bulk.  152 cards so 3 packs plus 2 extra sleeves.

Nice shot JD.  Is there a way to jerry rig a clamp onto the bottom?  Right now I've got a sheet covered folding table that I swiped from the wife's sewing room for a gaming table.  :(
It's fairly stable to be honest. I could actually put a couple of wood screws through the bottom. It's not a "wanted" table.

Sounds a bit painful.

I was thinking or like screwing a could of 2x4 pieces in the bottom of the board and then using a couple of small clamps to hold it to the table.

On the table now, 'Clash of Giants: Civil War', and waiting on the side-lines is 'Position Magnifique, The battle of Mars-la-Tour, 1870'

Basing the Coral Sea Battleset from Topside Minis

I ordered one of the free Topside Minis samples. The artwork is pretty nice.

I was wondering about mounting the Topside Minis to magnetic vinyl sheets, the kind for making fridge magnets in your printer. Then you could have your battles on a big piece of sheetmetal hanging on the wall.

You could. Have to be a big piece of sheet metal though.

It's hard to argue with the laser cut wood bases they provide. The Coral Sea set is both full OOBs (134 units). With the bases and including shipping, total cost was $72.50.

You're going to Origins to play wargames and you want Brant to bring Steampunk Munchkin?

You're calling someone out for not playing wargames?

Yes.  Everyone who is anyone knows that the original Munchkin is a much better wargame.
