Fortified Camp

In what ways is it permissible to depict a fortified camp? The rules state that camp is (effectively) 3 x 2 square bases. Many producers of fortification models for camps are assuming the DBM (at least IIRC) way of allowing fortifications to be modelled in a 'reasonable' depth, and this depth disregarded on the table.

It would be nice if AoW took a similar approach (at least for Leeds anyway

).

Well I usually use a couple of beer mats, but perhaps that is not the standard required.

Maybe not, but it makes me feel better!

I believe Richard soaks the berrmats in Brandy when they represent a fortified camp..leaves them beer soak otyherwise.

On a more serious not. I am sure that if people have great variety for camps we can be fllexible and competition organisers may be so.

Personally I would like to use AOW to create a push on the quality fo terrain and camps and such things...so no more beer mats or pieces of old curtains if I am umpiring. It would be great to give our tables the lift the hobby deserves with some great terrain and special items. Those at Usk will have noted stonehenge and the famous chalk man hill on the table with my Ancient Britons.

Cool!

Shame about the 'no rectangular' stipulation in the new rules. I just went and bought a load of scenery to take to Leeds...and most of it is rectangular

So, I'm afraid it's curtains for me

At the risk of ruining a good pun; villages, fields, plantations and vineyards in developed can have straight edges (p9). So keep away from the wilderness...

But the curtains aren't wasted. You can use them for the house windows in the village.
