A quick follow up from yesterdays post. Painted up a few of the Battlescale 6mm scale buildings with an added 5mm foamboard base which allowed me to slightly increase the height of the doors. I think I'm happy with this now and I printed some cobblestone textured paper which I glued to 70mm hexes as a base for a BUA, I'm thinking maybe a single hex to represent a small hamlet, two for a village and possibly three to represent a small town but each hex can only be occupied by a single base as per C&C rules.
The above said I have to say a thank you to Norm who suggested the idea of replacing an occupying troop base with a marker of some kind, I really like this idea too!
The buildings still look underscale of course but I can live with that in the game.
A nice looking solution and settlement size is a good idea. These resins by Battlescale are of superb quality, I like the roof tile shading.
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm. I really like the Battlescale buildings and I enjoy painting them..

They look great, Lee.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray.

I think that you have come up with a very workable solution that looks right and works well.

Hi Lee. I use one square to represent farm or village. Two squares to represent a town. Four squares to represent a city. The number of buildings can vary, but generally one for farm or village, a small group for a town and similar for city. My basic formation is a brigade, and one brigade is allowed in each square. I have always used smaller buildings, for example 15mm for 28mm figures.

Thank you Paul, I'm thinking along the same lines but with hexes. I agree the smaller scale buildings work well too.

Buildings look lovely and work a treat. Having buildings a scale down from the figs usually works to deal with a ground scale that is not reflective of the figures that we are using!
