At Historicon, Sam announced that she wanted to make her own wargame. \u00a0We talked about figures, because she wants to paint. \u00a0I bought her a bag of Old Glory Cowboys to paint at a convention a couple of years ago. \u00a0She said she wanted to do something different. \u00a0Eventually, we hit on the idea of her using the teddy bears and toy soldiers I have painted from Eureka so she could concentrate on terrain. \u00a0She plans to use GASLIGHT for this game.<\/p>\n

She plans to find miniature building blocks to use as barricades and defensive positions and jacks as obstacles. \u00a0In this picture she’s painting roads. \u00a0Note the colors are supposed to look like a game board.<\/p>\n

The “trees” for her game are meant to look like candy on a stick. \u00a0This shot is of her painting them to look like peppermints. \u00a0The bases are wooden wheels from the craft store. \u00a0The tops of the trees are round sponges from the artist supply area of the craft store.<\/p>\n

She asked that I NOT play in this game when she runs it the first time for the HAWKs. \u00a0She wants to do it on her own. \u00a0This should be cute. \u00a0I’m glad she’s showing an interest in the hobby.<\/p>\n
