    A lot of Tiny spaceships but I enjoyed painting the planets most. There were a lot of failed prints so I used those ships for derelics.

    Really like the subtle hex grid and planets. Nice work.

    Very shnazzy.  Will combat be like firing ship-to-ship or hex-to-hex?

    Hexes are hex shape paper stuck on an MDF board. Its cheap and effective.

    I don’t rightly know what rules to use yet. The one I’ve been using for space battles so far shoots by hex groups with an adhoc damage application. I was thinking of using Nine Navies War, with not that many ships on the board it should run pretty quick.

    Ah, I see, based on the old AH game.  Interesting choice, and does make sense for what is in essence battleships in spaaaaaace.

    Planetside terrain for the same campaign. Pretty happy with how this iteration of jungle looks, a lot better than all my previous attempts.

    That’s a really interesting way to do tiles, just about full on Fibonacci.  Looks good, and very modular.

    That is so awesome it makes me want to weep. Are those 3D prints?

    Usually I hate grids/tiles, but I really liked Shaun Travers 3×4 6mm rules.

    The different sized tiles serves two purpose. It let me arrange the board so no tiles are touching corner to corner. I have a very special hate for things like that and the weirdness that come with moving diagonally. The other reason was different size would represent terrain density. Largest tiles are open terrain and easiest to traverse while the smallest are dense terrain and blocks LOS.

    Everything except the rocks are 3D printed. I don’t have the motivation to make that many trees -_-‘

    Very typical of me. I had it all painted up and took it outside to give it a coat of varnish when the whole thing tipped over, landing top down. A few trees broke in half and almost made me rage quit.

    Eventually I’ll do some rice paddies to add a Vietnam option to this.
