I still have the ongoing issue of childcare whilst my wife is doing shift-work.

A...Yeah, many years ago now, from the North East...<br />Actually I started making the tables in our prior rental property here, whilst our home was busy being built, so I could put up a table in the garage there, for a game...<br /><br />At the time of moving in, I was starting to get into a bit Napoleonic gaming, and plans were for big battles use Black Powder rules... so tables that the Perrys, and Rick Priestley et al were show casing was the inspiration and end target... so the three tables I had made were bolted and screwed together with a glued on top layer, and under table storage units made to fit ... but as so often happens plans don't always work out and the Napoleonic thing never really got off the ground as I got side tracked by other games... <br />Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-51437366396575916142013-12-08T09:34:19.303+13:002013-12-08T09:34:19.303+13:00A fantastic games room, you lucky chap.
