This was a while ago, so I can't remember...Hi,<br /><br />This was a while ago, so I can't remember a lot of the details :-D<br /><br />(i) I think the table was 4' x 6', based on the fact that the tables in our venue are 2' x 4' and there's only a limited combination of ways we can push them together :-) As you can see a lot of the space behind the Goblin army isn't used - the ruins are kind of there just for show really.<br /><br />(ii) The ruins were possibly about 4' from the gate. Not sure. I can't remember if we had precise distance, or just eyeballed what looked about right once we had a few test games under our belts. Obviously the hill pieces created most of the distances we worked too, but I can't remember how big they are.<br /><br />(iii) 25mm figures on 60mm bases so we used 40mm = 100p (25mm distances)<br /><br />I hope this helps a little, even if I can't be more precise as to information.Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-90242515586840097742020-03-02T09:30:26.630+11:002020-03-02T09:30:26.630+11:00I have long been interested in building something ...I have long been interested in building something similar to this. I I might ask:<br /><br />1. How big was the overall table? 48'' square?<br />2. How far did you set the "Ruins of Dale" from the gate?<br />3. Did you use 25mm or 15mm distances?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />TheGasconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193095399653522240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-33982586722842871842013-04-03T15:59:28.302+11:002013-04-03T15:59:28.302+11:00Great report!

It also shows that with a little tweaking the rules for HOTT can be used to fight slightly different battles rather than the straight 24AP kind of fights.<br /><br />The figures all look fantastic by the way.Phil Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557197059760097109noreply@blogger.com
