For a while now I've been contemplating a variety of ideas for creating a large body of water on which to play out scenarios with my miniatures. I imagine scattering some islands about and having players' warbands sailing about exploring them. Check out my blog, Scrum in Miniature, for a short tutorial on how I got a tabletop ocean, fast and cheap. link

Flip them over add magnet or paper steel to adhesive side and "poof" cut them down for troop movement stands!! We have been using them in our group for a while……………

When I first started naval back in the early 90s I used the same thing and it looked great. Another massive advantage is that, because they are tiles, you can "scroll" the battle area as ships move so you can avoid that "edge of the world" feeling… Nice one! Nick |

Thanks, all! So many of my projects take three times as long as I anticipate, it's nice when one is completed quickly. And, Nick, that's a great point! Thanks for pointing that possibility out. |
