Our
latest addition is a series of town walls.
I made these, which explains why they look so practical and lack any
artistic appeal. But Jan found it all
too boring, so it was either me or not at all
Our
wargames scenery is designed to have three different sizes of build up area,
all based on 8”x8” cloth squares to show the footprint. One is a village or farm. Two a small town. Four a major city. I also wanted to be able to use either
walled or open towns, hence the walls.
This is for a two square town.
This is the four square city.
Due to Jans house building over the past year or so we now have more
buildings than we really need. Both for
northern Europe and for Spain. So as I
make new maps for the campaign I include at least one city in each campaign
area, plus eight towns and a similar number of villages or fortified farms
Good looking walls - reminds me that I'm half way through doing some.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteI did consider, briefly, making them more complicated. But I wanted them to be very practical, and capable of use as town or city walls.
I could have included outworks, but it would have greatly increased the design of the walls.
The campaign rules do not include siege, so the walls will only be decorative.
I now have to redesign the campaign maps to decide how many town will be walled, and which ones.
