Now I’m doing a terrain project called the forgotten army. Now we are not always the best at painting or modeling, but we all try to put something on the gaming table that is reasonably accurate and not silver. We all spend a lot of time researching or trying to create the perfect unbeatable army but until recently I haven’t thought about where did my army fight? And how my army fought over this terrain.
Also how enticing is it when you not only have painted miniatures to game with but also on terrain that is equal in quality, and makes sense for the period you are gaming.
I have decided to go big time COC! Early war, and I’m keen on revamping my 28mm German (I played a couple of games of BA, not my thing) and building a French army to oppose it, but I need some good looking terrain.
I’ve begun by purchasing TT combat rural bundle, it’s great value and looks right for a French town. This is before I’ve purchased any figs for the project (remember I have some Germans I did for BA).
So it begins, firstly I’ve had a major shift in how I plan a project, I know say to myself I like this period what terrain do I need? I’ll research the armies and the terrain they fought over, then I’ll buy and build the terrain I need before building the army I want. What’s good about this is many pieces can be interchangeable from period to period, so after a while I expect I need to buy very few items and I’ll have a whole ARMY of TERRAIN!
I’ve made a start, and I only got my delivery yesterday.
