Gale Force Nine Keep Your Battlefield River Flowing
April 18, 2014 by brennon
Gale Force Nine are adding to their Battlefield in a Box River range with some Bends, Fords, Forks and Islands. See what you think of them below...
I think these are great and you get the rivers pre-painted and made within the box so it won't take you long to flock up the banks and get them onto the tabletop. Rivers are brilliant for gaming and scale very nicely as well which would be perfect for the kind of thing we're looking to do between 15mm and 28mm scale.
I'd love a huge river network with a few bridges on my tabletop. I like the idea of the combat focusing around those and some more enterprising souls braving the ford to attack from the flanks.
What do you think?
I have a few of these sets and I’m a big fan. One of the things I like is that they are weighty enough to actually stay where you put them.
Rivers certainly do add another level to a game apart from the strategic significance of crossingpoints you get ooccasions where lightly armoured troops shoot the hell out of heavily armoured elites who would normally make mincemeat of them if they could only get across the river and get their hands on them.
I’ve got rivers made of plasticard that are good enough but these are lovely. Rivers are some of the best pieces of terrain to fight over, as they usually are fought over
