I meant to post this to the list, but just hit reply. I'm reposting to the list now. I've got a little different take than a lot of the answers so far -- but...
I will never forget playing in an ACW game at Historicon one year. One of our units was routed and the gamemaster who had written the well known set of rules...

Hi Guys I need some advice on how to attach ground cover to my bases. I just got 1/4" washers to use as bases, normally I use plastic card over magnetic...
I prime the base along with the figure, so I'm not working with bare metal. Then I do one or the other: 1) Paint the base with model railroad scenery adhesive...
I'm thinking of giving medals to players at convention games if they earn them. These reproductions look good on the website has anyone seen them or bought one...
Use tile adhesive/grout - it come coloured already, sticks to anything including bare metal and is very, very tough. Smear it over the figure base [having...

Hi Rob, I glue the figure to the washer with superglue. The brand that I use is "Zap-A-Gap" from Pacer. I also use thier "Zip Kicker" accelerator to set the...
How do these figures compare to Old Glory's Boxer Range (height)? I have bad experiances with Redoubt figures fitting in with my stuff (re: Zulu War range). ...
Dear Rob, I've been using good old Elmer's white glue for almost 20 years to hold sand to the steel washers I use to mount most of my figures. You're right...
Make sure there is no oil residue on the washers by washing them in hot soapy water and then dry. I place a small piece of tape on the underside of the washer...

I've always thought that the base should blend into the terrain, and never subscribed to the 'landscaping' look that's so popular. I have GeoHex terrain and...

Greetings, I hope that they're not carrying the Krag because that would mean that the folks at Redoubt were following that same error riddled Osprey book that...
I'm a heretic too. And so are those I wargame with. All my figures have either a plain green base in the same or similar colour to my base board or the same...
Well one "positive" thing about the Osprey books being "error ladden" is that they are at least continually in print. The material also seems relatively close ...
Likewise, most of our group uses washers (for balance and transport). We try to get everyone to paint the washers and then flock them. Some people make a ...
