Doggerland Front, how to do?

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Furthermore; if the BBC map of Doggerland is to be given any credence, Britain and Germany would both appear to be land-locked.   

I suspect the level of the sea is such that the full area shown on the BBC map is not exposed (it would make everything too complicated as you say - most of the UK being landlocked and I have no idea if the extended rivers would be navigable).

I would say the 7000BC level would probably be permanently dry, the 8000BC level  more tidal (in a Mediterranean style).

The other thing to bear in mind is agricultural technology has collapsed, it just does not work in the new environment.

And games needn't be confined to the (newly exposed) Doggerland Front.  Much of the original Western Front remains contested (but subject to the new environment with the return of "the Old Ones."

The global sea level changes would be down to volume of water displaced - so if the 200’ depth of North Sea is over an area of a few 100 miles by 100 miles, that volume would be spread across the whole Atlantic which is a few thousand miles by a few thousand miles, so perhaps just a few feet deeper on the US East Coast.

Here is something that I have just learned. Still trying to work out how this applies to AWT though.

grounded sea mines, big iron explosive spiky balls on long chains attached to concrete blocks....

I like your thinking

Cool idea.

I do like this idea! I think the sea mines floated, but having them on chains sounds fun!

Dutch - no not mentioned. But the book only covers a few key countries - and I think these are probably largely linked to figure availability.  By 1916 with Britain, German and France already being on a serious war footing, I’m not sure the Dutch army would be able to do much against any of these powers if they choose to attack. But its alternate history so no reason not to include them if you want to.

Some mines were indeed free floating but many were tethered.

Drifting mines, due to their uncontrolled nature, were outlawed at the Hague Convention of 1907. Mines that drifted were often moored mines that had broken free from their tethers.

But mines, with or without tethers, sound like a plausible terrain item. Possibly rows of them if they had been tethered.

Fighting amongst things intended to go bang would seem particularly hazardous.

I figured the chain would allow for wall-like cover, have the mine and the weight at opposite ends.

The chains or cables aren't that big, and I'm not a fan of hiding next to a "wall" with about 100 kgs of explosive material

For Doggerland I picked up some 3D printed sea mines from a seller on ebay, he did some complete ones and some only as halves (I can use some of those as half-buried in sand/mud others I'll use as floating for other games with boats).

I have some figures for the middle-east fronts so wondered about another setting and having the remains of Santorini rise up from the Mediterranean, Atlantis-style, would allow for a few different forces and Greek style ruins.

I was thinking more los blocking and obstacle, but probably shouldn't have used "cover"

Quite ^__^.

The chain would create interesting blocking blocking terrain for vehicles. Any vehicle crossing the chain may become entangled in the chain, dragging the aforementioned 100kg of HE and twitchy contact fuses across the ground towards the vehicle.

Hello everyone,
 
 I will stage my Doggerland Front Theater around a H0 18mm scale narrow gauge railway set replica (1/87) , from auhagen.de. The Decauville Typ 3 steam locomotive is from busch-model.com . Guns and soldiers in 1/72.

 Kind regards,   Hermann

Hello there,

 Tarot cards, what function do they have in this game? I didn't find it in the rule book.
