Here are a couple of sample battlefields as laid out in Lost Battles with a couple of sample units to show figure scale.
The Sambre |
Crimissos |
Chaeronea |
Obviously, this terrain is very stylised, but I don't mind a bit of stylisation in my games, and I think this set would also work quite nicely with other projects I have in mind when a greater emphasis on realism in the terrain might not.
Anyway, am feeling quite enthusiastic about how this has turned out. There's still some work to do and decisions to be made, but to have acceptable tables makes a huge difference, and should see a few more games played at house Prufrock in the coming months.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThese look very nice. I have a few of these, but only enough to cover a small 4' x 4' surface, and any roads or rivers are placed on top.
Are your river tiles geomorphic--i.e., can they fit together into different patterns, or is each river course basically unique? A lot of people insist the former method is the only way to go, but it seems to me that it usually produces the essentially the same basic pattern over and over. On the other hand, the latter method could require a LOT more tiles! :)
Best regards,
Chris
The rivers look excellent. Regards, Peter
ReplyDeleteSo the tiles are laid on top of blue paper for effect? I agree that hills need more definition, otherwise simple and effective. I like this idea.
