Operation Afghan Village begins...

[Lardy Rich]

Some of you may be aware that we're about to launch into the detailed playtesting of a set of ultra-modern rules in the new year, and are getting ready to take them round the show circuit in 2015 as a participation game.  The first step is the terrain, specifically building an Afghan village.  I thought I'd do a bit of a step by step guide as I work my way through the project.  You can see Part One here:

and Part Two here:

Here's a couple of taster snaps.





To be fair, these ones are a bit boring as it's just the start.  Hopefully they'll get a bit more interesting as we progress.

Nice start. Have to get my village done for Little Wars Melbourne in May, so look forward to your progress.

I've loaded Part Three up now.  Things begin to take shape as we get stuck into the buildings proper.

Or here's a couple of snaps to whet your appetite.

Looking good. Should look the part with a bit of paint on them.

Really nice start there!

I will be shamelessly nicking the idea of making/using slight slopes inside the compounds, gives a solid extra bit of realism to the builds.

Simple but very effective

The next part of the build is up on Lard Island News, you can find it here:

It's starting to look like a village now, but lots of detail to still be done.

 



Hope to add a bit more tomorrow if I can slip it in amid the turkey and pressies.

Looking very impressive!

The modularity is great, especially with the detail you have. I've been reading through the blog too. Merry Christmas Rich and fellow LAFers.
