Bill's DBA topic ate my thread :-(

So imagine you want to do a city fight – house to house, room to room. The terrain can be daunting. Hard to keep track of units.

What if you did this?

Make the ground floors and put them on your table as usual. Then make the second floors as separate pieces. But mount them on a sheet of clear plexi. Do the same with levels 3 and 4. You could blue-tack to the plexi so they would be re-usable for different configurations.

Then stack the plexi with enough room in between to reach into the rooms and maneuver the figures.

Just a thought that crossed my fevered mind one night…

Might work for two floors, but any higher and you'll not be able to see within the floors or reach the figures inside easily.

I think it's a great idea!

Agreed, sounds like a good idea. Reminds me of 3D chess.

sounds like a sellable product to me.
