RE: DAK MARCH BATTLE
Tomas,
That's actually my fat rear in the photos Ethan posted.
Until now, our entire battlefield and most of our tanks have been from the North African campaign since it themes in with our club so well. Well now we have decided to start building the European area of our battlefield, just to add some interest and diversity. Besides pine trees are a lot more abundant and much cheaper than making each palm tree needed to keep the desert theme accurate.
We're starting with a few key buildings, and we are planning a generic European look (think Tudor style) SCAT over in So Cal have most of their buildings patterned after French structures, while BAT's buildings Northern Cal come from Italy. We are planning something more along the lines of German/Austrian/Bavarian cottages, with a church, some two-story homes, barns, and even possibly a nice working windmill. As is always the case with a small club, we have lots of ideas but a little less money and time to get it all made, so it will be slow going.
In the photo on question I'm starting the layout of our church with a tall steeple
