Still bitter MOthman? ;)

Great report! Thanks for sharing.

I noticed you (or I guess your opponent Colin) had some nicely scaled semi-truck and trailers (lorries). Who makes those?

Is the mdf hangar a sci-fi one? It works well in a modern setting.

Much of the developing world looks quite similar.

Post by: Sakura on July 12, 2018, 02:41:27 PM: Matt - The trucks are all from Corgi.
Elk01 - The MDF hangar is from Sarissas Sci-Fi range.
Well spotted Derek. Four of the boards are used for the Suez set-up, but obviously with different buildings in place.
You can see them again as Venice, Casablanca, Vladivostok, London, etc as the scenario demands.

Post by: Elk101 on July 12, 2018, 04:39:33 PM: Thanks for the info

Post by: Sakura on July 17, 2018, 10:04:25 AM: Chris, sorry, no Terra-Former used.
The terrain is built on 2' x 2' slabs of 1.25" blockboard which are so heavy you can really only lift one at a time. At least they do not warp!
The boards were originally constructed (and not by me) probably 40 years ago for a South East Scotland Wargames Club Conquistador versus Aztec display game
Somebody out there may remember it in its original form. Somebody might remember building it! The dockland boards were originally the base for a huge Aztec pyramid. Many of the other boards had causeways and canals. Over the years I have adapted the boards to represent China, Mongolia, Korea, Mars and most recently Suez.

1776 was a tactical withdrawal... we were playing the long game...
