How did you make the roads and town footprint?

Outstanding !   The freedom of this type of game has an attraction all its own.   :-bd

Yep, should have mentioned that Will :-[.

Thanks Sunray :). One of the reasons I love this 'period', is that you can use pretty much any toys you want. Ditto camo schemes, unit names etc.

They are made from 2mm mdf Peter, painted a base colour and then speckled with some lighter and darker shades of the base colour. Easy to do at work as I have a full spray room to play with :).

Glad you like them Paul and lovely toys to be able to put on the table.

Yup! Really like the T35, the only tank I can recognize on sight! Actually bought two of them awhile back with no clear idea what to do with them.

Agreed.  The same with me and "fictional" Bush Wars.  If set in the 1950s/60s you get the play with a lot of WW2 kit in scenarios that don't arise in conventional "real war" gaming.

Like pitting a Valentine IX against a Chaffee .... :)

Great looking game. We really must get some AVBCW games in with BKC2 again. It's been a while and I know the guys have painted up a load of canals and armoured barges that have not been on the table yet
