When I setup my terrain for WW2 games, and before any miniatures are placed, I find there is little to distinguish it from my Napoleonic games. So with that in mind I decided what I needed was some telegraph poles.

The telegraph poles were quickly made using 4mm dowel and a matchstick cut in half for cross pieces. Holes were drilled in the MDF bases and cut dowel glued to the base. Painting was simple, dark brown with watered down grey quickly painted over to break up the brown.

In all 13 telegraph poles rolled off the painting table, sufficient to add a hint of 20th century to my tabletop.
Peter- A good idea of yours to do the Telegraph Poles -very 20th C.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to see a series of WW2 Battles this Winter? Cheers. KEV. p.s. You take great photos of your set ups.
Thanks KEV. I am thinking of a small linear style campaign, but have yet to get beyond some early thoughts.
DeleteRemarkably effective!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is surprising how a few small terrain pieces can make a difference.
DeleteNow you need some combat engineers and signallers to repair the sabotaged telegraph lines ....
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteVery nicely done, they look great and reaistic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and they were quick and easy to do which is always a bonus when making terrain.
