Terrain – 15 steps to a Wireform Tree

Instructions courtesy of Keyotis.  Thank you!

You can make deciduous trees out of wire.
Materials needed:

  • 20-24 gauge wire ( really any wire, even 12 or 14 gauge would be fine for massive trees )
  • small wire cutters
  • two sets of pliers (needle nose are ideal)
  • a spark plug/deep well socket

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.

Game Demo’s from #Origins2010

I spent an hour or so with John McBride, of Splintered Light Miniatures, learning how his skirmish system worked.  He guided my friend and I through a scenario that showcased the tactical strategy you could employ using the minatures.  Sadly, I couldn’t roll to save my life (or in this case my Badger Lord, and his Mole friends lives), and the Fox and his Rat Brigade controlled by my friend took out my little band of heroes.
