Wow that is super impressive Rich.
I would be tempted to take you up on your invitation, I live relatively close (Derby) but I don't drive...
Good stuff.

I was happy just to get my armies painted in the right colors.
Exactly!
This is the best I could do with some cheap sprays...

Good enough for playing, though. Plus I don't have to touch the miniatures as if they were nitroglicerine out of fear of damaging them

Not really any different to playing with nice painted miniatures for an RPG.
Just loading up some more pics...

How do you represent Far Harad as a single fortress? It's a vast region that probably encompasses many different countries and tribal clans. That's like having a single mini represent all of Eriador. Are you sure that shouldn't have been labeled the Havens of Umbar?

It's a boardgame; it makes it playable and the [Far Harad] fortification easily identifiable as such a strategic point. The tent camps I looked at as alternatives weren't any good, which is what I was initially trying to source.

Google says about 20 hours of travel time and a shade under a $1000 if I'm willing ignore petty things like no checked bags and a 4.5 hour coach ride from London to Sheffield, and all my responsibilities. Hmmmmm....
That invitation still stands, Jacob. I'm hoping to get Jon playing this if/when he visits.
