IHMN game boards (Guide to Cobbles on page 4)

[Dewbakuk]

Slowly but surely, progress continues. Second board is now gluing while clamped to the first. The item in the centre is a 4Ground prepainted water closet which I've just glued together but leaving out the toilet pieces. So it's now just a shed Got two more to build.

Currently wondering whether to make the wooden roof for the shed or give it a corrugated iron roof. Dock areas used a lot of corrugated iron so that's probably the way I'll go...

Looking forward to seeing this one progress

I am really really looking forward to Salute this year.

Can’t wait to see the finished boards.

Wish I could hop the pond and make it for Salute. Looks like a great set-up.

One board will be a warehouse/dock area with a couple of large warehouses, a few small outbuildings/shacks and piles of crates/barrels. The other will be a section of city. The two will be different heights but will have a ramp and steps allowing them to go together if wanted.

The design looks excellent and, built as it is, it will allow for two separate games to be played simultaneously, or one larger game between four companies.

The illustration shows many stacks of goods in the Warehouse district, which allow for excellent cover. Cover is a must in IHMN, especially when facing Soldiers with Lee-Metford Rifles, or Mohan Singh carrying a Maxim Gun. Will there be similar amount of cover on the other board?

That was the intention. It'll allow us to have games running independently at Salute but also be able to use the boards for more longevity.

The other board is in a bit of flux until the buildings are totally sorted but there will be cover such as a couple of wagons/vehicles and hopefully some street barrows/trade stalls. I need to give someone a nugde about that and make sure they've remembered

You've got quite a lot of cover on there now :~}.

Might one suggest a Police Telegraphic Box on a street corner? 

[Smith]

Can't wait to see these in person.

If only I could persuade my boss to spring for an office game board...

Surely it's a justifiable expense as either a sales & marketing display aid, or a staff training item (cheaper than a corporate bonding excercise and brand-loyal too).

Weren't introduced into London until the 1930's.... that said they do have a tendency to 'appear' in random time periods don't they

My library seems to be missing some books... 



Been helping my sister-in-law move house today so I may not have an update later but I'll try and get some motivation once the kids are in bed.
