Campaign Map Started

Using trusty google on it's relieve map mode, I made some screen shots of the campaig area.

And using the hexographer free mapper, convert this to a hex map for the campaign.

Next up placing cities rivers and roads!

Redoubt Nº1

Upon reading the tutorial for a 15mm recoubt here, i felt the same technique can be applied for my 6mm guys.

So without much further ado, I present Redoubt Nº1;  result of my first terrain making adventure in many years!!

the finished works

which imediately has it's first group of tennants

an enterprising battalion of Russians!!!

 The matchsticks used look a bit over sized to me, or maybe the trees on the russian steppes grow a bit more sturdy! Maybe that should give it an extra advantage when facing Ottoman heavy guns?!
