You're right - the idea of some long US or British infantry units holding fast against hordes of IRGC armor and commandos sounds like alot of fun.<br /><br />Truthfully, you could do what I do with the buildings, Ben. I have shoeboxes and tissue boxes spray painted tan. You can supplement little details and it turns out okay. <br /><br />I have HO scale buildings I purchased from train stores that can also fill in roles along side the shoeboxes and it still works out OK. Add in printed roads, telephone poles, donkey carts and matchbox cars and you've got a working village.<br /><br />Also - use the "cake topper" palm trees from birthday stores, which are literally 99 cents for 2 trees. While they're coconut palms, people still get the general idea.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-42760332692477847242013-01-27T14:28:48.499-05:002013-01-27T14:28:48.499-05:00Both of those sound fun.

But some day I'll get to it! Especially now with my Iranians, they just scream for urban combat for some reason!Ben B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032912544426547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-45126513691141024772013-01-27T10:50:08.543-05:002013-01-27T10:50:08.543-05:00Thanks, Ben!

First up I think will either be a Mogadishu game where 2 squads must advance to the opposite side of the table to locate the downed UH, OR I will play the first battle in the Operation Enduring Freedom book with ODA and "Eastern Alliance" fighters defending the village and bridge from the Taliban. Cant wait!
