Roads


The scenery projects continue...



Last of the floor tiles from Paul, plus a few sourced from the local hardware store


Undercoated with grey primer


Edges, the double size tiles are to represent motorway or dual carriage sections 



Here's where CD breaks down a bit, at an inch to fifty yards this road is almost one hundred meters wide! Depending on how picky you are with the rules in a built-up-area it is possible for units to be unable to fire at each other across the street owing to a two inch range rule in such terrain - we solved this by extending the distance to five inches, same in jungles. Still, it's all abstract anyway


The black tile on the crossroads can represent a BUA where space is limited, and many CD players use this, with perhaps just one or two houses standing in for the entire village, as shown in the picture below



This is more like the BUA we prefer, something that can accommodate multiple units in and around it, without the whole area becoming a crowded mess, and can actually be fought over. However, table size dictates pretty much everything.
