Looks like it would work for Frostgrave |

If you covered up the divided highway with terrain it would probably work well for Frostgrave. It also looks like it would work well for some of the realms in Age of Sigmar. It might not work so well for Infinity unless you were able to cover up the craters, which might be hard give that one is in the road. Not that there couldn't be craters in an Infinity game, of course, it just isn't really the ruined city scenario type game. |

What I'd like to see are modern/near-future buildings and ruins. Most everyone gets modern ruins wrong, as they seem to be inspired by European WWII ruins. Old-style construction had load-bearing outer walls that might remain standing while interiors collapsed, leaving the "shells", if you will, that you see in WWII pics or 40k battlefields. Modern buildings (1960s-70s on) are the opposite: reinforced interiors with exterior walls hung on. The walls tend to fall off/out but the interiors remain standing. |

@Darth: depends on the location. Middle Eastern construction still does the reinforced-concrete walls with minimal interior routine. Modern steel post-and-floor buildings require a disturbing amount of explosive to drop. Even the military can't quickly drop those buildings, they need to be prepped with shaped charges and kicker explosives to cut the beams. Otherwise you need 50,000lbs of jet fuel to burn and weaken the steel. |

@Darth: depends on the location. Middle Eastern construction still does the reinforced-concrete walls with minimal interior routine. Like I said, modern construction. ;)
But yeah, it's amazing how resilient modern buildings can be. Can make it difficult to reach the minis, I suppose.
