Quite literally, you understand. A 15mm scale Iron Age Near Eastern butchery, based very loosely on archeology in Ashkelon. The first building of an intended settlement for my Biblical gaming. Based on a Sarissa Terrain Tile. Building scratch built from 2mm mdf. Baskets and jars from Baueda, biggest pot and fence from Crom’s Anvil, sheep from Irregular and butchers (slightly) converted from Xyston Athenian rowers.

@Mike: YES!

Ahab, King of Israel; 1 Kings 20:1114/11/2019 at 05:25 #126445Geof DowntonParticipantUpdate. Found this,
…which, despite the title, seems to be the full report of Ashkelon at its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar in 604 bce.
You’ll have to sign up to read/download it, but it won’t cost money.

Nice work & interesting article.
More nonsense on my blog: http://battle77.blogspot.com/
14/11/2019 at 08:46 #126451Geof DowntonParticipantNot fair! If I had thought about Shaun I would never have started, I had enough trouble as a veggie!
But thanks anyhow!

Also inspiring me to think about possible projects for my Sumerians.

I notice a number of the games at conventions are doing it too.
As a fellow vegetarian my Early Bronze Age meat is left on the hoof, so far, but I may be inspired to have my MAR.TU butcher a purloined cow, or similar.

27/12/2019 at 02:20 #128589R FlaggParticipantNicely done.
27/12/2019 at 13:36 #128601Geof DowntonParticipantThat’s great! Love it when people add-in non-military subjects to their wargames projects.
Thanks, but I’m not convinced that anything I do really relates to “gaming”. If there had been railways in 1000 bce I’d just as likely be playing with a train set as toy soldiers.
Thanks also to messrs. Cooke and Flagg, and anybody else from the past or future who says nice things about my stuff!
More tiny buildings coming soon…
