Another stretch-goal is down in the Pedion Modular Battlefields Kickstarter, one that really enhances the battlefield product range: the Pedion Wall System & Modular Bridge.
The Wall System started as a small side-project, designed to take advantage of the connectivity of the Tiles and add man-made features on them, which can be removed easily and stored away – Pedion-style.
You can better understand see the simple way the System works (and the easy way that walls are dismantled and stored away) in the following video, especially after 0:34.
The stretch-goal unlocks the basics of the wall system, allowing players to get a series of stone fences and hedges to enhance their terrain and their games. The main goals behind the Wall System are:
- to avoid the placing of walls on bases for stability
- to allow flexibility in wall placement and unit movement
- to take advantage of magnetized areas on the tiles, and
- to be simple and affordable
Build Those Bridges!
Along with the "Wall System," another favorite of mine unlocked: the Pedion Bridge. In the spirit of Pedion, the Bridge is a three-part, flat, stone, modular construct, designed for the depth and with of the River Tiles. The arches go 1 cm deep to touch the water surface, and the bridge is 7 cm wide and 14 cm long.
It assembles (magnetically) into one piece, or you can dismantle it and store it away without taking any space. If you are getting any River Tiles, this is a must-have add-on, especially at the £9.00 GBP price tag.
Desert & Winter Variation Photos
Many backers asked for them, so take a look at the first photos from the Desert/Winter prototype tiles. The beautiful 15mm and 6mm miniatures of Anne and David Yeomans bring these photographs to life.
Special kind of 'broken ground' tile type I am thinking for Desert and Snow: raised dunes/drifts. It increases tile weight and vertical size, but looks nice.
