Lots of eye candy in this one! (40)

That table must be a blast to play on…

DinOfBattle223 Apr 2016 8:42 a.m. PST

Thanks folks. Yes, it is almost mesmerizing! You have to get over the initial shock of the terrain then figure out how to fight the battle.

It does look better in person.

This has to be the most impressive layout I have ever seen!

DinOfBattle223 Apr 2016 10:00 a.m. PST

Thanks Robert! I agree, it is impressive. You need to come over here and see it one day!

Best. Jungle. EVER. Wow that is a killer looking game!!! It is set-up's like this that keep me going! Where in NC are you Eric? Has this game ever been to Southern Front or H-Con? If not, why?! Simply stunning!
Thanks for posting.

Hi Peter, I did bring the other jungle terrain (which will be in my next post) to Southern Front about 10 years ago I think.

I took that same second set of boards to H-Con and one best game at the show in 2002. This terrain is better in my opinion.

Thanks for the compliments. I should try to get it to a local show as there are very few that can see it in Charlotte.

Eric,
I had the pleasure to play your Piquet game on that other board at the Front back in the day.(I was the old Marine with the cane.) I thought that was table was the best Asian board I had ever seen. We spoke of that when you last came to Southern Front. I didnt think that one could be outdone. This new one is beyond words.
Job well done!

Great looking terrain!!! Where did you find the larger Plam trees? I'vebeen looking for those for several years. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

DinOfBattle223 Apr 2016 5:21 p.m. PST

Hi Sam, I'm glad you looked back on that game with fondness. It was a lot of fun to run.

Liborn, I haven't bought any palm trees in about a decade, but they were cake decorations.

Search on "Palm Tree Decorations for cake" and you will get a ton of hits.

Love the village!

Man, that is some Serious Terrain going on there!
It looks as if the miniatures themselves would have to come to life in order to 'fight' thru that.

uglyfatbloke11 May 2016 2:48 a.m. PST

That really is superb terrain…just superb.

DinOfBattle211 May 2016 7:49 a.m. PST

Glad you enjoyed the terrain. I'm fighting with a second set of terrain boards this week. Blog will be updated with the battle reports.

DinOfBattle213 May 2016 9:54 a.m. PST

New blog post with 2nd set of battle reports:

That is some serious jungle terrain. Lots of inspiration to be had from those photos. The off-board artillery bases are nothing short of awesome and I will definitely be stealing that. Thanks for posting. "Brothers in War" look interesting and seem to cover the level of action I enjoy gaming. Any idea of when they may be coming out?

@Captain Crunch. I'm not sure on the date as I'm not the writer of the rules. We have really tweak the rules to our likely and I think we are close to complete in that area.

Just need to do layout and production.

Maybe the end of this year?

Glad you liked the Artillery Firebase! :-)
