Terrain boards for Somme

Action near Gheluvelt
Here are some photos of a game using the Crossfire ruleset. It is an encounter battle between British and German forces during late October 1914.

HMS Scorpion
Still a work-in-progress, this is a 1:700 Combrig model of a British Beagle- or G-Class destroyer. HMS Scorpion provided naval gunfire support during the Gully Ravine battle in the Gallipoli campaign. The stand is 14 x 3.5 cm, which gives a sense of the size of the model:
Ottoman Fort

HMS Aphis
Here is a 3D printed model of HMS Aphis, an Insect-Class British river gunboat. She served in the Mesopotamia campaign, providing naval gunfire support on the Tigris River for example. The model is 2.5” long:
