Got all my Afghanistan terrain out on the weekend. Made for a nicely dense 5x6 table!

Also got the "new army" curse exorcised and had my ass handed to me! One LAV brewed up, another a mobility kill and several casualties to Medevac. Never got more than 18 inches on table! (so most of the terrain just sat there looking pretty!

)

Maneuvering on the right to save the day:

That looks great, I like the amount of terrain, looks like a walk in the park for the attackers soon to become something much less pleasant.

I esp. like the ditches, I keep meaning to make some for my Jihadistan project. Did you buy them or make them?

I've also got an unfinished wadi I should dig out...

Made them.
The darker building was made by Chris the Modelmaker. The trees are Woodland Scenics. Everything else is made by me.
I used Woodland Scenics Water effects resin for the irrigation ditches.

Made them.

I don't suppose you did a step-by-step on your blog did you?

Yes I did!
Go back a few months for posts titled irrigation ditches or with the Afghanistan and terrain labels.

Thanks, I've been meaning to do this for a while... although it's now just closer to the top of the list.

What material are your roads?

Cool, love the grape drying buildings. Very much like the terrain round Kandahar.

Thanks! That is the area I'm trying to reproduce.
