Control Board

 Oftentimes, when a busy game is planned, the last thing that gets attention is the time/control tracking.

For Napoleon's Battles this is something that cannot be skipped, simply because the detail going into the scenario is so rich that even the arrival times are closely tracked.

I have had a number of sheets of corrugated plastic (coroplast) that I have used for different things at different games, often it is the turn/time tracking device.

At the recent Shiloh game, I started to include more details on the board - intending to use it more as a scoreboard as well as the time/turn track.

This time for Leipzig, I have put all the different effects I have learned into the tracking data.

I have even made a couple of 'high contrast' clock faces (seen just above the turn track board and the word LEIPZIG) that I can use in the future for games ... I'm taking a look at a possible set of turn counters in high contrast as well, for use in the time-lapse shots.
