Thanks for brining it to my attention.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-13381681088829933642013-04-10T04:24:12.396-07:002013-04-10T04:24:12.396-07:00Hey Dale, thanks for the mention!
I have no regre...Hey Dale, thanks for the mention!<br /><br />I have no regrets about my gameboard, except that I don't have enough time to use it to the full!<br /><br />There are only two reasons for a permanent setup: you can achieve fantastic, realistic, model railway-esque scenery, and you can do this for historical, real-world places.<br /><br />This pales against the versatility (and transportability) of a variety of terrain pieces.<br /><br />I have to say I shake my head sometimes when I see beautifully converted, lovingly painted figures playing on a bare table with a few lacklustre incoherent pieces of scenery. Do your games a favour and spend time on terrain as well as armies!Barkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389368754759452544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-61568750498557332522013-04-08T03:57:26.535-07:002013-04-08T03:57:26.535-07:00For ancients, my terrain is crap. But for my ww2 ...For ancients, my terrain is crap. But for my ww2 stuff, it is all about the visual experience for me and I have gradually been building up terrain as I build up the forces, although is has been very gradual over the last 30 years, and still only average. For instance, I only replaced by cutout roads with some decent molded plastic ones in January. When I acquired some 6mm stuff, one reason I have been playing on 2'x2' boards is so I do not have to spend lots of energy on terrain. Despite what I have written, I am like you - I spent far more time, energy and money on the models than on the terrain. <br /><br />I am also interested on what it is like to replay on the same table.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.com
