I'm late, but had to drop in and tell you all.. play silver bayonet, its a blast and easy to pick up. After a couple of games you find yourself familiar enough to start the fun of telling your own stories. Its kind of evocative to be as grim (or silly) as you like, the scenarios supplied can be placed in the theatre you like most. It just starts pulling stories out of the players, well it did in our group at least. After battling the stirring dark forces in the hills beyond ragusa, we are currently fighting our way across the alps in a anachronistic suvorovs march across the swiss mountains (in a kind of prelude to the rise of napoleonic mayhem). We surely visit the peninsular campaign and probably haiti too. Or to put it short, you can go crazy with anything including fancy uniforms and muskets, the rules are as flexible as you are.

I don’t know how I end up in these parts of KZfaq but I’m glad I do.

"The Silver Bayonet" Brought to you by Slartibartfast

Looking good, Tim. Liking the central fireplace. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece. Standard MDF is called "MDF". Glossy one side, sorta patterned on the back, is generally called by the brand name, "Masonite". A brand of concrete infused boards, of 2 varieties, underlayment and exterior siding, are both called by their brand name, "Hardie Board". All that said, if I say "hard board", it's a coin toss as to whether the listener interprets that as "Masonite" or "MDF". Oddly, while "HDF" is common enough, almost nobody outside the trades knows anything other than "MDF"

Liking seeing a ruined building from you compared to all the complete buildings you normally make. I don't envy you posting this across the pond however...

Thanks, Tim! Gonna make a matching one by following along. When I’m done, come play Bolt Action in Wickford and see it on the table!

The build is looking good so far.

They are a fun set and you can easily use your Napoleonic Skirmish figures. I also play Dracula's America, so have lots of nasty things for my guys to face! In my opinion, great, fun set of rules!

Googlefu defines Hardboard thus: "Hardboard, also called high-density fiberboard (HDF), is a type of fiberboard...."

We call that Hardboard or Masonite in the US. There is a softer thinner board we call chip board that's just a thick cardstock. What you call chip board, we call particle board.

Great looking ruined building. It will look awesome on the table top.

Nice one.

Great plan, Tim, and so versatile. Just bought The Silver Bayonet book, so I'm looking forward to seeing the finished model, to see how it would fit in to the scenarios.

Love the Jackanory opening shot of you and the book! 🙂

From the US here. Have heard it called chipboard, particleboard and hardboard all pretty commonly. I think they are all forms of chipboard just compressed to different densities though.

In Poland we call that material from back of furniture's "plecówka" - which means back'er :)

Nice video. I really like the structure of the farmhouse and can see that being great to play in.

Ha for a moment there I thought you said "the shit out the back garden" and not "the shed out the back garden. Gave me a chuckle thanks for the laugh! The build looks good so far. I am intrigued by this game but have to resist the temptation. I am on a crusade to vanquish the pile of shame. I am down to Abaddon the Despoiler, a box of Chaos Space Marine Terminators that I am saving for a long term project where I paint them to a high standard and base to a high standard. Got a few hundred 15mm miniatures to paint and my mountain of shame is no more! Then I will look at other miniature games hah.

Hardboard from the Uk I think is called chipboard in the USA. Where we also have something else called chipboard as well which isn’t hardboard!! So not confusing at all. 😂😂

That looks just like my house, when I just bought it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And the UK's hardboard is the USA's chipboard.

Also, one more thing! (Columbo!) where do you get your XPS foam from?

Great build as always Tim. How was the Ghost gig?

I grew up thinking hardboard was called "Masonite." (it's probably a regional brandname.)

Hi! Did you mean "farmhose" or farmhouse? I get it. May want to change the title for those searching for farmhouse.

Looking good Tim (the build, not you of course)

What you're calling "hardboard" we call "Masonite." Masonite is a brand name, but "hardboard" is the only one of their products that I've ever heard called "Masonite." I've also heard it called chipboard. More technically, we would also call it "MDF," though when we talk about MDF in a crafting context, a slightly different cabinetry board is usually what comes to mind first.
