link What we called "ruins" on the gaming table are way too neat and tidy compared to real life. |

True, but we have to put miniatures on ours. |

Great find taskforce58! The vintage photos look like they were taken yesterday. The two kids looking down at the jeep is especially poignant. |

You could try to build something like that, and it would look cool, but moving and having figures try to fight over it would be a real difficult time. It is always a trade off between realistic representations and what you can actually game on without breaking things. |

I like to build ruins with clean floors and some debris along the walls, then use removable rubble piles to put in the middle. This way, they look like real ruined buildings full of rubble during the game but I can remove the piles when there are figures occupying the building. |
