Thanks guys. Next up – to finish my Gauls and see how they fare against the Romans. :)

Sounds like a fun mini-campaign. Thanks for posting.

I like the campaign rules! Simple and effective.

THanks. So far they are playing great. Mind you they are just at the basic bare-bones level at the moment. Some extra goodies we are working on to add more depth. But overall… SIMPLE! :)

Very interesting series of posts. Thanks for sharing!
Your battlefields look very good!
The terrain surface is a commercial mat?

monger23 Mar 2015 12:37 p.m. PST

Thanks :)

That is a 2' x 2' foam board that folds up in the middle. It's 2" thick and fully textured on the top surface with flocks. It is in fact commercial (from WarZone terrain).

I like it. I added some highlights to it with a sponge and some light green, earth brown, and a little yellow paint. :) Had it for years.

Thanks for your answer.
I especially like all the extra scenery: lone trees, vegetation, stones and trunks you have included. I assume they are not "terrain features" (in rules terms). It is a good trick and not commonly seen in DBA battlefields. It adds a lot to the visual effect.
Well done!

monger23 Mar 2015 5:05 p.m. PST

Thanks again :) You are correct. All those single pieces of terrain standing out on their own are there for one reason – to add color and feel. No effect in game play. Even the cows and such :) Terrain is part of the whole effect, so ignoring it really takes away from the experience that is Miniatures Wargaming (imo).

Thanks again.
