Skirmish Games and Scatter Terrain, Part 1
« on: September 08, 2020, 07:42:33 PM »
 still play big battles, most notably the English Civil War, Fantasy Battle, 19th Century Colonial battles, Dark Ages, etc.; but over the last 5 years I have really caught the skirmishing bug due to the rules In Her Majesty's Name and Pulp Alley. Terrain plays a role in big battles, but with games where one figure represents one figure - you really do need that terrain piece to duck behind when that expert marksman is shooting at you! Plus it makes the game look cool.

I note that this thread has also been cross posted. It looks more Pulp like than VSF if you wish to keep it here?

Nice.

Do the glyphs actually say anything?  I wonder?

My hieroglyphics are rusty, but my best guess is a directional guide claiming that you should have made that left at albuquerque.

Then again, I get lost frequently, and am notoriously poor at reading directions of any sort.
They definitely look cool and add mystery and character to the tabletop tho - nice stuff.

The glyphs are just my attempts.
