That's pretty much how we do ours, though they need a reflock soon ;)

I was impressed by the hills and stuff though, unfortunately we've had
to
revert to books under the mat for FMA/SG games as we've really only go
DS
sized hills and there's times when "its flat hills again lads" just
won't do
;)

?? Excuse my ignorance, but what?

Yeah just rub it in Adrian! ;)

Though you're not exactly in the same field as Derek's best man who at
Uni
decided his courses based on relevance to gaming...

History - a must
Geography - for mapping
GIS - also for mapping
Politics - for campaign info
Design and construction - helpful for building the terrain and tables
Planning - so layout was correct
Economics - for campaign info
Photography - so all hard work won't go unnoticed or unremembered
Computing - as book keeping is easier that way...

etc etc

In a country where specialisation happens early on at uni he had a very
diverse degree, though we were amazed he managed to keep a straight face
before the subject selection review every year ;)

Cheers
