Puppets War Send a Telegraph About Their Latest Terrain
March 29, 2015 by dracs
Puppets War have released two new sets of Telegraph Poles to help keep your miniature board fully connected and in communication.
Telegraph Poles are one of those things that you don't ever think about, despite them being pretty ubiquitous in modern day civilisation. Their addition to the tabletop is a small detail that will nonetheless help to give things a bit more realism.
As well as the standard Telegraph Poles, Puppets War have released a set of double ones to help break up the layout.
These terrain pieces each come in sets of ten, providing you with enough to scatter throughout a small village.
I am not certain how common Telegraph Poles were during WWII, but nowadays you pretty much can't avoid them. This means that Puppets War's sets will help you to create a pretty good modern day board, along with the various other pieces of scenery you would find in such a setting.
Can you think of any game mechanics that could be implemented with the addition of Telegraph Poles?

@dracs Telegraph poles were pretty common in ww2, at least on main roads between large towns. in fact a popular anecdote is they started ww2, since they were listed as part of the reparations Germany was to pay France after ww1 that helped destabilise their economy.
Huh, live and learn.
Western Games might be interesting using these. Objective to destroy the lines of communication before the small town can call in the cavalry or the Law.
They can be used for ACW, WWX and anything from the mid 1840’s onwards. Wolsung and other Victorian steampunk could also feature telegraphic shenanigans.

I dream of a day that a minis/terrain company starts knocking out 15 and 28mm Stobie poles
Awesome i’ll use these for when my internet goes down, they should be able to do 28k dialup just fine 🙂
