This is so good it hurts. Some great designs there. It adresses some of my hang ups with many ruins lacking staircases for instance.
 I'm interested in if you have planed the surface of the table itself. I'm thinking it is a bit of a conflict of interest in having a heavily bombed surface with a lot of rubble and craters against the possibility of placing buildings in different locations. Or will you have designated places for the buildings and go for elevation/craters/rubble elsewhere?

you totally need one of these stalingrad fountains from eureka. It will be just perfect.





I understand Nic is planning a round, WW2 era version of that.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Im not exactly sure of what your asking but if I explain the layout may be I will hit the right answer.

To make this table as generic as possible but still have as much diorama look as possible im going for an amalgamation of the two types .Some boards will be flat but sand covered as a base and some will be permanent diorama type boards.

The factory boards 2 x 600mmx600mm will be a set piece , and one of the ruins and cellar board will be a set piece as will two of the trench boards , so that's like 5 boards out of twelve with the other 7 boards being flat(including the three sewer boards).
Add to this drop on scatter and rubble and drop on railway and it will give us endless layouts much in the same vein as my WW1 layout.

Also because ive used the 50mm blue foam there is  an opportunity to add the river  bank leading down to the river, to another set of boards ;D

Cheers AL

On another note  I see your from reading , you can catch us at Warfare in November we are doing the ACW Lee`s Right Hook game in 28mm of the Wheat Field/Rose Farm /Hook Ridge 12` x 12` 27 board L shape layout.(been listed hear in the past but never shown).
