The first section in THE COURIER's Wargamer's Table contest was submitted by George M. Scott Jr. of Eden, NC. The major advantages of these tables is that they can be arranged in many configurations, yet are easily folded up for storage against the wall when your wife wants to take over your game room for the square dance club. The tables are made of 5/8'plywood sanded on one side. 1"x4'x8'lumber is used at the edge under the plywood for rigidity. Folding legs such as are used under cafeteria tables (and available at most lumberstores) are fastened to the underside about 18' from the ends and fold towards the middle. Each 4'x8' table cost about $38 to make. Of particular interest is the 2' and 3' triangles that are made up as fillers to expand the area of the tables. These also have 1"x4" boards along the edges. From the illustrations you can see that many combinations are possible. Tables and triangles where used, are clamped together with 2" C clamps, about 3 clamps for each 4' of 1'x4". The tables are painted avocado. If you have a wargame table that is innovative, or that you are especially proud of, send in the details along with sketches, photos and enough info so that interested readers could build one for themselves. THE COURIER is looking for innovative integral storage ideas, tables built to keep measurement and paper paraphernalia off the playing surface, or innovative methods for expanding table use, etc. There will be a nice prize for the winner out of the 6 chosen for publication.
