We have so many miniature games right now, and no game tables to play them on. Some games we have too few minis to really have a full on war game going. Others, we have plenty of mini’s but no appropriate terrain/gaming boards. It’s time to remedy this situation.
Recently we’ve built some individual terrain pieces, the wire form tree, the hill, I have even been tossing around ideas for themed boards.
Terrain – 15 steps to a Wireform Tree
Instructions courtesy of Keyotis. Thank you!
You can make deciduous trees out of wire.
Materials needed:
I would suggest making a practice tree as your first tree. It needs to be big enough that you can clearly see what you are doing,and provide the opportunity to get familiar with the steps
involved.
Game Terrain – 4′x4′ Winter Scene
I have a piece of plywood downstairs calling my name. I want to get it prepped, so I can get started. This is a pretty ambitious project for me. I’ve not planned a project like this before, so I’m not sure how long it will take to complete.
Below is a sketch of my layout. I envision a capture the flag/victory point type of scenario. Captured flags have to be returned to the appropriate city. Preventing a capture by utilizing fox holes will earn you victory points.
War gaming terrain – Take the hill!
Here is a walk through of the hill we’re making, for our miniature war gaming week.
We decided to do a basic, summer time theme. Should work with any forest settings as well.
There are two ways up onto this hill, so we plan to use it as an area to capture for victory points.
