Found some (very sturdy) cardboard that they chucked in the bin at work, decided to give it a new life.

My impressionistic attempt at a coast line:




4' wide and 2' 5" deep made up of two 2' x 2' 5" pieces. Backside is painted the same green-brown except there is no water.

The water side can be used as a 2' x 2', i made the water line just 5 " on the edges of the board,so easy to ignore when used for games that only focus on the 'land' part.

You could always hang that one on the wall when not in use for gaming! :)

Yeah, the green was 'too green' on it's own. Just added some spots.

Was happy at first, but found the beach too narrow for the scale of games I want to play on It, so made it a bit wider.

Going to try to get a game in tonight, to see if the beach is good now. I don't want my forces reaching the end in one move  ;D
