janewilliams20I described the Trees army in the last post. We needed one in each scale, each, for Saturday, plus a 48AP 40mm doubles army for Sunday. Dave prefers semi-historical, and ideally fairly modern.
40mm for me: Trees
40mm for Dave: "Mordred's Army" - semi-historical medieval, based around the end of "The Once and Future King" and a medieval DBA army I'd picked up somewhere.

60mm, we both went with the theme by saying "it's an Avalon Hill game, right?"
For me, that's easy. RQ3, boxed set. Take a look at the cover and then at my current usericon. That's the Hero General of my main Gloranthan army. I had a figure for the guy with her, too, painted it up and attached it to a Stronghold that looks a lot like those white walls. Found the box, put some steel sheet in the bottom, expanded the sides a bit to take the taller figures, and packed them into the box, job done.
I forget the name of the game Dave picked: 1980s naval. We did him a Google Maps satellite view of the Falklands as a stronghold, and he had lots of little ships and aircraft on sea bases. Also labels in yellow pen to tell what the troop types are, since it wasn't obvious to the un-initiated (like me).
Sunday, we'd hoped to paint up some ACW and come in uniform, but instead, pulled my DBA Ancient Brits and Romans out of their boxes and did "Cartimandua and her Roman allies". Dave got the nice organised Roman command (Ninth Legion, he found out, before it lost its Eagle) and I got the Hero-general and Warband Brits.
