To be honest, I'm not completely happy with it, but I'm running out of time to get them done. I have demos scheduled for this weekend and still have a lot to accomplish before I'm ready.<br />

<a href="http://s1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dropzone%20Commander/?action=view&current=IMG_0950.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dropzone%20Commander/IMG_0950.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Now each city block within the road network will be built with a combination of roads, buildings, and whatever other scenery comes to mind.
One finished example:
<a href="http://s1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dropzone%20Commander/?action=view&current=IMG_0951.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dropzone%20Commander/IMG_0951.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
From another angle:
<a href="http://s1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dropzone%20Commander/?action=view&current=IMG_0952.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dropzone%20Commander/IMG_0952.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
This system is incredibly easy to do, and, compared to many other terrain methods, pretty inexpensive. I recommend it.<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S. I may or may not have toyed around with some Battletech miniatures in here as well ;)SouthernCygnarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11124102339590971680noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489479870148430506.post-14442590021870636442012-08-19T19:25:00.001-07:002012-08-19T19:25:28.279-07:00Buildings Started<a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/">Hawk Wargames</a> has a set of <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/blogs/downloadable-buildings">Downloadable Buildings</a> for their new game <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/pages/dropzone-commander">Drop Zone Commander</a>.<br />

It's been so long since I have been to a con and not participate in a tournament that I forgot how much fun playing all of the different games can be. <br />
<br />
Game 1:<br />
They have tanks of their own. Ran by Chris Pagano<br />
<br />
A Division level (each unit was a company) World War I game. This game was a lot of fun. I have been wanting to play a miniature game at this scale for a long time. <br />
<br />
In the game there was 1 French Division and 1 British Division vs 1 German Division. Normally each person would play a regiment but we were a few players short so I controlled the British Division. As a result I had a lot to do so I was not able to take any photo's past the start of the game.<br />

Great Fun!SouthernCygnarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11124102339590971680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489479870148430506.post-74197547901315734792011-01-21T06:40:00.000-08:002011-01-21T06:51:34.734-08:00New AccessoriesIn an effort to make my battle reports more visually appealing, I am changing the way I record hits, AP loss, and raging fires on the table. In addition, I picked up some Mine tokens as well.<br />
<br />
These are from the <a href="http://www.litkoaero.com/">Litko Naval Accessories</a> Line. <br />
<br />
My only negative comment on these products are the splashes are hard to put together without breaking. I broke 3 out of the first 10 until I decided to trim the bottoms (not easy) and glue them. Other than that I really like them.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dystopian%20Wars/?action=view&current=IMG_0634.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dystopian%20Wars/IMG_0634.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Here is a shot from a game we played last night at Tower. My Battleship just hit this Cruiser from range band 3. The small shell splash is AP loss, The large splashes with the blue bases are hull damage, and the raging fire is obvious:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dystopian%20Wars/?action=view&current=IMG_0632cropped.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb325/SouthernCygnar/Dystopian%20Wars/IMG_0632cropped.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Over all, I am pleased with the results. The only thing I may re-consider is the AP loss. I would like a better way to show some of the other critical results as well, so if any one has any ideas, let me know.SouthernCygnarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11124102339590971680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489479870148430506.post-5227561404961836622011-01-10T16:33:00.000-08:002011-01-10T16:34:02.697-08:00FSA Update: Test FiguresI painted a Frigate and 3 Tiny Fliers as test figures today. I'm not entirely sure what I want the fleet to look like but I know I don't want it to be green.<br />
<br />
...and Yes, I did paint D-Day stripes :)<br />

Lots of people got to see the game and about 15 different people played. (4 guy's from NATO showed up. w00t!) Dave from Spartan ran the demo table while 3 or 4 tables around him had games going. I was wrapped up in a Battle Report so I didn't get as many photo's as I would have liked. The owner of Treefort had a drawing for a free Battleship that one of the guy's who played a demo game won. (I don't remember his name). All in all a good time was had by all. <br />
<br />
What few photo's I did get:<br />

(Well done enough for demo's) I may go back and detail them more later. Just in time for the demo day at Treefort Games. I'm gonna try and get them into a Battle Report.<br />

Well done enough for demo games. I could put some more detail and highlighting on them, but I really want to get the whole fleet done before Saturday and I still have a lot of work to do on the Battleship and Carrier. Not to mention, I have a lot to do this week at work. I can come back later and do more detail. (although knowing me, I probably wont :))<br />

Completed the 6 remaining frigates, got the cruisers at about 50%, carrier and battleship at 25%. Managed to get the bombers done as well. I'm not sure if I want to put insignias on them or not. There is not really a good spot for the meatball. If I do, I'm leaning towards the tail plane in the center right behind the propeller.<br />

I went with magnetized on metal. If I ever have to do any long distance traveling with them I may convert, but I am happy with this for now.<br />

I also wanted to use the color of the planes to tell the squadrons apart.<br />

Since there are no Prussians on the shelves in either of my LGS's I will start with the Kingdom of the Blazing Sun.<br />
<br />
I did a couple of test frigates and tiny fliers. I hope to have the rest painted for the next Demo day at Treefort Games in Fayetteville, GA on Jan 8th, 2011.<br />
