BSC2021 Tomrommel1's difficult terrain for Vietnam

[tomrommel1]

At the moment a placeholder for my project. Probably something for Vietnam war.

So now the rules are clear about how many pieces of difficult terrain can be included, I am of to start. Sort of anyway.
I will build different kinds of boobytraped terrain, or terrain made difficult through boobytraps, punjistakes, etc.

Stellar! I was hoping someone would build something like that.

I build these little surprises into patches of marshy elephant grass patches like in the sea of reeds in the mekong region.

Here is the star of the first difficult terrain base. A narrow way across swamp terrain blocked by a nasty surprise:

Ouch!

Interesting idea. I am following with interest.

Great, I have done a series of traps before for my board. Looking forward to how this turns out!

[tomrommel1]

I will do 6 different traps, like a hanging bomb, a bent tree limb with pun stakes on it, the handgranate in a tin type ,maybe a snake pit etc all hidden on or near a trail through swampy terrain.
By the way the space between the trail and the elephant grass will be waterlogged , so you have to walk over the pit

[AKULA]

Are you considering multiple traps on the same base?

Reason I ask is that it was a common tactic to punji stake ditches before a tripwire, so that when the lead soldier triggered the initial trap, others were injured diving into ditches off of the trail.

[tomrommel1]

Yes there will be bigger bases with more traps on them . The one you see is just a test piece

[tomrommel1]

OK, I made a little bit more progress. In the pictures below you see one of the big terrain pieces. It measures 20x30cm. There will be another of this size and 4 smaller ones. I changed the placement of the boobytraps a bit.
as you can see I made a whole in the track which can accomodate the washewrs I use as bases. On the bases I will place either a trap or a harmless terrain feature as can be seen in the pictures. So you don#t know in advance how dangerous the track through the swamp is.
The elephant grass is artificial lawn glued on with a hot glue gun.

ooops, somehow the pictures are all upside down? Wasn't the case when i uploaded them....

Nice work Tom
I often seal the stakes off in the oven before putting them in the pun
