Some pics here of a game that Steve Winter put on at the Enfilade Game Convention in Olympia, Washington, on Saturday, May 24 using The Sword and the Flame Rules.  This was the second of two games that he ran.  Both played out extremely well.  His terrain was simple but elegant, much of it scratchbuilt, including the huts and kraal.

Does he have any info on how he made the hut roofs? I can do the walls but the roofs are perplexing me.

If I recall correctly, Steve told me that he shreaded twine or some thick string out into component fibers and then used white glue (PVA) to form the fiber into hut roofs.  He said he teased out the fibers by scraping along the twine or string with a knife.  Hope Steve will chime in and correct any details of the process that I got wrong.  His huts would be a good mini topic for the Workbench forum, since they looked simple to make and yet were well painted and made a good impression on the table.

really like it, actually easy but looks as much more realistic. Well done!

It really was simple.  Steve used what looked like a tan blanket, scattered brownish green moss around, put out a few wood sticks mostly in piles near the clusters of huts, put out bits he had picked up from the craft store such as beads that looked like African jars, put out bits of plastic grass mat from the craft store, and added his scratchbuilt huts and kraal. The overall effect was striking.  It really looked like arid parts of Africa.

Back when I made those huts, I put a detailed how-to article here --

That really is an excellent looking game.

I originally thought that the table was covered in sand

That's why those huts look familiar
