@crazyredcoat I think that when your brain is ‘at rest’ then ideas and solutions to problems tend to bubble to the surface. At least that’s how it works for me.

If there were no obstacles at all I’d build a board that with tiny adjustments could cover a variety of games.
The desert themed boards that Beasts of War did for Bolt-Action and Flames of war would be an example of such a thing.

Depending on the features (terrain doesn’t have a scale) such a board might be more suited to skirmish games (Bolt-Action / Blood&Plunder / Stargrave / Frostgrave)

It would be insane to try and cover all seasons on one board though, so that definitely would be a different base board.
So there’d be a tropical island one for pacific/pirate/sci fi/fantasy fights.
A snow variant for when it needs to have snow
A generic ‘green’ one to cover everything else for humans.

I’m definitely making one room in a house a ‘war room’ … I just need to find a house that’s within my budget. 😀
(heck … my entire house will be a man cave :D)
