How the heck do you make grape vines like needed for the Fondler #19 scenario in the latest TFL special? They like they'd be seem extremely labor intensive, & only usable during a limited part of the year.

Thanks

I played in a Napoleonic Skirmish game at the recent Historicon Convention where they used some 25mm Grape Vines. They had a base about 2" wide x from 5 to 8" long and 1/16th thick. The bases were not all the same length. At each end was a matchstick size of wood sticking up. Between these posts was a longer matchstick mounted on top and spanning the others. There was some kind of green foliage or lichen draped up and across in varying thicknesses to represent the vines. Now there were about 30 to 40 of these stands laid out in lines across about a 1/4 of the table. The effect was very good and looked exactly like field of grape vines.

If you look at the Yahoo group photos posted on July 20 a picture of the vines are there. The picture is called The Spanish Mission>
