Swamps not Large Enough??
« on: April 04, 2011, 09:04:18 PM »
So... Gee, my swamp sections for Venus were, "a bit small".... So broke out the materials kit and got to work;

Problem with a large piece like these, that are roughly 3 feet by 2 feet is that stands of troops will have to be placed on them of course so I didn't want to load them up with lots of swampy growth. In fact I may have to remove those I put on, and remount them on smaller pieces to be scattered about on the large piece, as I do with my Jungle Filler bits. Hmmmmm already thinking of how to...

Basic photo and how I colored them here:

They also look a bit small to me :?


 ;)

Only joking! They're proper swamps, they are. When are you making paddle steamers to cross them?  lol

Those two would take up the vast majority of my playing space  :'(

Very nice! 

Quar don't suffer movement penalties for crossing swamp you know.. their buoyant bellies aid in their crossing water and ability to continue to fire weapons   ::)

Swamps? Paddlesteamers?  Perish the thought. Pedalos are what's called for. Or an airboat with a dopey kid and an even dopier bear.

It was the size of the vessel, rather than the type I was thinking of.....  ;)

Changed things around, mainly due to the size of the pieces/storage/transport.  They have to be stacked one on top of the others, which means the plants would slowly get smashed or rubbed off, depending on flat storage or standing on edge. So I took them off, remounted all plants to smaller bases to be placed and or moved as needed for troop placement and movement.
Still back filling the sealed surface to fill in divots from removing the plants.
