Sheesh, upping the game or what! Not only do you have a stunningly painted table and miniatures but now you have really topped it off!

Well done guys... when willthe rest of the life size underwater base be finished?

cheers

Temple. While I really like the water shot, it's an image of shallows while the game has the impression of depth.

Hmm,he has a point about the shallows, but I quite like the water shot,mthe sunken temple background looks quite busy. :: ???

I'd go for the water shot as the temple will make it look like it's in a fish tank (unless that's what you want of course  :D ).

Cheers guys! Well that makes about 50/50 so far. I'll just leave it so it can be 'Blu-tacked' on.

Don't know if you noticed Colin, the gauge is supposed ton say 'Mac Bros'.

Andy/Colin: I notice the stats for all your subs are the same. Is that deliberate/accidental/proven configuration?  Just wondered, as I was looking to stat up my mini-sub and thought I might be missing something.

They both work for me but if pushed I'd for for the water as your own terrain is doing the job of eye candy nicely.

We thought for a simple, quick game it would be easier just to keep most of them the same. The two Barracuda will have different stats as they will work as a team. In our practice game we had people make their own subs. In some cases in worked but if one area is made better it is to the determent of another area. As some people found out. Feel free to make you own stats any way you like. :D

I can verify that those basic stats are pretty much the best option, I went with them during testing and they really worked well- a good well rounded sub that ain't toohard to kill.

Yikes! This wound up SOOO much more impressive than I would have ever guessed possible considering the start date and all!

You're amazing craftsmen!

A brilliant idea, that be!

The only way you could have made this any more atmosheric would have been to play the game at the bottom of a swimming pool!

Superb stuff
