Battlefield Bad Company Game - Salute 2011

good points ( I should have read it more carefully )

Guess you'll have enough to do with that size board

no worries 

Slight change from the game - each player will control a squad of 4 figures, rather than a single character - the thinking being that the "respawn" would look odd in a tabletop context.  Games will hopefully be quick and bloody, not too much skulking on the edge of the board trying to mortar everyone else.....

Each side will therefore have 2-3 squads on table at any one time, so the table should be big enough for 6 players, plus 24 figures.

Impressive speed, Akky!

But I was hoping for the Heavy Metal stage

The bus is pretty much done - although I might patch up the righthand side of the first photo, before varnishing  :oops:  and add some silfor, but that is about it.







and have started on another two-storey building....

I wish!

Still plenty to do - buildings will take a lot of time to build, and then when they are done, i've still to paint them.

Ironically, haven't been on the game (xbox version) for a while - if I do, it will be taking up valuable building time.....

Today's update:

Pretty much finished the 4th building - just needs a chimney:

a two-storey job, just a big box really - added a couple of stone fireplaces to this one (useful to hold up the ceilings!) made out of foam.







I made the second floor fractionally smaller, on this building, for a bit of variety - put on the table in a rush, for the photo, it does fit together...honest...



Hopefully its beginning to look like a small town...or at least a partially destroyed one....



Unfortunately back to work tommorrow, but have got a long weekend, so hopefully will get a bit more done then.

I´m stunned.
Great work.

[AKULA]

very little to report, since Tuesday - being back at work brought a temporary halt to construction - on the plus side i've got Monday off, as I needed to use up last years holiday allowance.

In the meantime, the citizens of Arica Harbour have applied for town status, having constructed their second sewage outflow pipe, and being able to boast the makings of a town refuse tip (still obviously a WIP, needs some more castoffs - think i've got a 4Dmodels telly somewhere that would fit in nicely).

Making replacement rubble for the starting Intact buildings as they get blown to pieces?

[AKULA]

Making replacement rubble for the starting Intact buildings as they get blown to pieces?

nope, because in the BF:BC2 game, the blown up walls pretty much disappear, until there are none left, and then the whole building collapses (at which point the building gets replaced by the rubble templates i've shown above.

[AKULA]

Another two-storey building started - similar design to the last one (ie using a fireplace for support) - gaps will get filled in later on.



and, as I was getting bored of staring at white foamboard, have painted the first building:

Great stuff. Really like this project! Makes me sad I won't be visiting Salute.
