...Wayne, Ind. As a miniaturist war gamer, meaning one who uses realistic figures, not counters, he is considered one of the hobby's aristocrats. With good reason. All of the 600 or so figures on his table, each about 2 in. tall, were painstakingly hand-painted in the exact regimental colors and insignia of the period.
