If wargames tables were football matches this would be the world cup final! people love to watch it, but deep down inside we all wanted to get on the field and play some ball! ;)

amazing job! not only for the overall look but also for the how-to! :)
Cheers,
Pedro

Those buildings are excellent. This "Ambush Alley" could've been on some parts of Djerba (that's this notoriuos Tunisian tourist-island...) as well.
I second the impression of Gundamentalist 5.56 that you have to add more dirt to the buildings and definitely more litter like empty oil-drums and tyres and this annoying blueish/greenish plastic-foil from the litter-bags (preferably half-buried...).

As a complete table-top, it looks amazing. Tidy, very tidy.

Don't worry about lack of dirt, weathering or piles of rubbish etc. The whole is definitely more than the sum of its parts. (And that's not to say that there's anything wrong with the parts.) While those comments are certainly valid opininons, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it as it is.

Any man would be a fool to turn his nose up at such a wonderful gaming space.
