A Workshop

This is the moment when I must say thank you to Patrick Van Gompel. Thanks to his giveaway designs for houses, I have been able to add a vast number of buildings to the templates that I already had.  I've now made so many with Chrissie that we are both going around looking at real buildings and thinking how we would reproduce them and where the tabs would be!

Rear left is one of his warehouses. Opposite it, two cottages and another on a green sward. The church is also one of his. The sandbags and long hut are from other sources.

The crossroads needs the road painting on but using paper has held the greenery and roundabout in place while they dry. 

As the days progressed, we made an inn, another church, a pre-war service station, some shops, more cottages, another low hut as a hospital, a farmhouse, sty, barn, manor house and so on.

I couldn't find all my tiles so have come up a little short. I probably need a pack of another nine to give me enough options and ensure the medium/large table is covered.

Meanwhile, my players started pondering on the briefs that I had issued along with micro graphics of their fleets so they could detach the individual ships, mount them and use them on a large scale map if they wished to.

Now for some hills, a river and more trees.
