I made another board, a corner road piece with some more ditch to link up with the other one.



And I played my first game on it!

Congrats on the fine looking board(s)  8)

Any kind of settlement in the works soon?

The boards look great.

I tend to "recreate" medieval battles in Italy and the battles are rarely on entirely flat ground.  Lots of small hills and vineyards and other obstacles to worry about.

Nice ditch ;)

You could also add removable earthen banks on each side of it to change it into a sunken path when you wish to change the landscape and context.

Nice idea!

My mum of all people actually came up with a similar idea - she said why not some earth banks made of the soil displaced from digging the ditch.

Anyway these sunken lanes are tricky in all historical contexts...  ::)
