Hey all,
I figure that a gaming board might be in order for all these armies being created!
I plan to, over the months, create a 3' x 5' (15 tiles total, 5 interchangeable, not actually that "Mega", though it might be a "Mission") board with 5x 3' interchangable tiles, 1 in each corner, 1 middle, that can be swapped and still stay level with the board. 2 of these will be plain (as in grass, trees etc), 3 will have some sort of structure/item etc on them for big terrain/objectives etc. If you all respond, I'd like to run with themes or ideas that you all put through.
28mm scale (40k, WHFB etc), with the idea to create a board with many, many combinations.
Month 1
All planning - mainly sketching of features, 3d computer modelling etc, aimed at getting feedback from members as to what they think would be good/bad/improved etc. Both board and tiles to be shown and improved/changed by you all.
Month 2
Into it! Building of basic board structure, hills, roads, etc etc
Month 3
Painting and grassing, building/addition of trees and grasses. Also ponds, water etc
Month 4
Building of 5 tiles, with relatively basic items on them, 2 with plain terrain, 3 with, say, factory type buildings, or fuel storage or something. Probably something futuristic.
Month 5
Building of 3 extra tiles, with a different theme to them – I'm thinking archaeological dig (I've got neat bits around for that at the moment) or tents or something. Probably something old fashioned or WHFB or something. The idea of the second set is to create a multi-purpose board.
Month 6
Final details – addition of tiny details that take a lot of time – computer terminals, jackets lying around, etc.
EVERYBODY!! Have your say!!
I'd like some suggestions as to what the features should be - anything anyone would like to see?
Otherwise I shall just go with what ever comes to mind at the design stage. Thanks guys and gals!
