Re: [SG] Terrain ... How Much

Hi all,

A friend of mine came up with an idea for urban terrain that doesn't
cost
the earth (?!?) and is easy to store. What he does is use the card
backing
from pads of paper (here in the UK, we call it A4, but I guess t'other
side
of the pond it would be Letter or Foolscap?). Anyway, he then gets
smaller
pieces of card, paints or sprays them black and sticks them on to the A4
sized pieces. Each of the black pieces is thus a building and each A4
piece
is a "city block" (this method was designed for use with 15mm figs). The
overall effect when a number of these are laid out on the table is like
a
street map. The gaps between the blocks are streets or alley ways
depending
on the width. The fact that the buildings are only flat black shapes
doesn't seem to matter too much and actually makes the game play easier
since 3d buidlings would get in the way. Maybe a "cheap and cheerful"
way
of doing urban terrain until you can afford lots of 3d buildings?

Just my £0.02 (no Euros here, yet, thank God!)

Mike
