Is it possible? I really don’t know, but I intend to check into it. What am I talking about? Super-sizing my favorite solitaire game of all time, the “Raid in St. Nazaire”
The original game map looks like this…
I saw a post on Facebook from Andrew Laing, who put together an oversized version of the game, starting with a friend who ran a printing business, whom he got to scan the board map and then he printed it out on the material that is used for billboard advertising.
He then added miniatures from Heroics & Ros WW2 Coastal Warfare range, 1/600 scale, such as the MTBs, MLs, etc. The HMS Campbeltown is the old Airfix plastic model at 1/600 scale. The figures and guns are all 1/300 Germans/British from Heroics WW2 range Heroics & Ros.
Man, I’m tempted! …but that’s be a lot of miniatures! I suppose an alternate e would be to have the counters blown up, as well, but either way, it’d be costly. So tempting, though!
