Battle of Grunwald

LEGO Conferences offer a great opportunity for AFOLs to pool their resources to create monster displays, like this one from LUGPol members in Warsaw.  LUGs often spend many hours months in advance planning large-scale displays, and many more hours setting them up once they arrive at the venue.

This is a recreation of the Battle of Grunwald, in honor of the 600th anniversary of the battle.  According to one of the participants, there are 96 baseplates and over 700 minifigs.  I love the fact that it's not just a massive array of minifigs, but there has been significant attention paid to landscaping as well.  It must have taken a lot of coordination to get the various segments of the stream lined up, for example.  There are also a ton of very detailed custom figs in both armies.  You can see some in the photos below:

This really gives the impression that various lords have been called out and brought hosts of soldiers in different liveries to the battle.  Which is, I suppose, what happened here; various AFOLs brought out their own armies and gathered them all on the same battlefield!
