The maps used were from the Axis and Allies collectable miniatures game and are not only double sided but are also geomorphic so there is plenty of choice. I may make some overlays at some point to add to the variety available.<br /><br />The lower of the two pictures features a square gridded board 90cm by 60 cm with 75mm squares. The roads are cut from felt, the hills are from Hexon, the buildings are from the 'Town in a Bag' set available from Amazon and the trees were from Ebay.<br /><br />The game looks very nice when set up and as I have often said brings to mind a 3D map.<br /><br />I am glad you liked it.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-76309992558710233202017-10-20T15:16:58.851+01:002017-10-20T15:16:58.851+01:00Interesting system, and beautiful terrain!Interesting system, and beautiful terrain!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-29611990552457712162017-10-20T13:24:54.674+01:002017-10-20T13:24:54.674+01:00Hi Jonathan,

In the same way I have used Columbia Games Napoleon for a (long since disposed of) 15mm 1815 set up.<br /><br />The Jenga blocks I have used are not the official version as these have the word Jenga embossed on them. My blocks are from game available from the Works in the UK called Tumbling Tower. these are plain pieces of wood. I got a local carpenter to band saw around a dozen boxes of these in half. The labels were drawn in MS Paint and printed on A4 label sheets and cut out.<br /><br />I have the following colours available, blue, red, green, grey, khaki and olive. I also have some more colourful versions I use for tribal native types. The symbols used would be familiar to anyone that looks at military maps.<br /><br />I hope that helps.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-88751410402847074872017-10-20T11:52:30.165+01:002017-10-20T11:52:30.165+01:00Your blocks look neat!

You have given me some ideas. Can Jenga blocks be purchased separately?Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
