Many European city centers are built, at least partially, on a block system. The blocks of apartments generally have shops or offices on the ground floor, with four to six levels of apartments above that. They surround a central courtyard which can be a garden space, parking, or can sometimes be partially filled with smaller buildings and sheds. A perfect example of this is Barcelona's appropriately named Eixample district.
Today, we've released what we hope should be some very useful City Apartment Blocks. We've created three sets – a pack of four corners, another of four straight blocks, and a third consisting of two T-pieces and two straight pieces with an archway into the courtyard area. The blocks are built on a 40mm footprint – each corner is 40x40mm, with the depth of the apartments set at 20mm. This means that a pack of four corners will create a block 80x80mm square, with a central 40x40mm courtyard. Adding straight pieces means that the blocks can be extended in 40mm increments. For gaming purposes, this works perfectly with rules that use 40mm frontages for figure bases, as units can be placed in the courtyards to indicate that buildings are occupied.
