I was lucky enough to able to secure the drop leaf table from my local scout group and after much huffing and puffing I was able to get it into the loft and set up. After a quick polish and the addition of a blue tablecloth followed by three quarters of a box of Hexon the end result you can see in the picture above.
The table is a little narrower than I would have liked but it is large enough for a 12 x 8 Hexon playing area which is the size I shall be using for most of my gaming activities.
I hope to run my first game in the new den this weekend so once again I shall be taking to the high seas.

Great acquisition - Quite the business!
As as a Scout master myself, I'm delighted to a "good turn" done :-)
Looking good !.
Hi Mosstrooper,
Cheers old chap! I am very pleased and am looking forward to some titanic struggles in the future!
All the best,

Hi Paul,
They even delivered it for me and so I made sure the donation to the group funds was a generous one!
All the best,
DC
David,
Well done! It looks absolutely perfect for your purposes ... and no doubt at a fraction of the coast of buying a new one!
I look forward to seeing it in action.
All the ebst,
Bob
Hi Bob,
The table has seen better days and is a little rough around the edges but it was very cheap and is certainly just right for my planned Portable-Wargame-and-a-half sized set up of 12 x 8!
I hope to have the first game on it tomorrow - the play test of the Portable Naval Rules.
All the best,
DC
Hard core naval gaming follows
I am envious
A great leap forward! I decided some years ago to focus on designing games which fitted on my own table. So far it's working pretty well.
Hi Geordie,
Oh very much so old chap! I have a list of ideas a mile long!
All the best,
DC
Hi Tim,
If I can manage to enjoy even half as much success as both you and Bob C have enjoyed then I shall be a happy chap indeed!
Seriously though, the 12 x 8 size suits me very well and I am already thinking about campaign styled actions.
Good times ahead I hope!
All the best,
DC
