Looking for some WWII terrain inspiration

[no_such_luck]

Fairly soon I will be starting a WWII table project for BF EVO:WAW, and I find myself a bit overwhelmed. I mean its' pretty straightforward for games like Warhamster 40Q, but as far as WWII I've no idea where to begin.

If someone could point me at an instructional website or some such, that would be great.

help, please..... :shock:

What scale are you thinking?

Piers V, who occastionally posts here under another handle, I think, but also posts to evocommand has run some pretty inspiring games:

This might be the same club, or even one of the same games:

arnhem_chris ran a game in Australia that looked pretty legendary:

elladon scratch-built some amazing terrain for his 28mm collection, including a terrain mat made out of "teddy bear fur" that blew my mind:

Generally my sense is:

Eastern Front: Warhamster style hills, forests, fields, log cabins, cottages, and urban ruins (Kharkov, Stalingrad, Berlin)

Western Front: Hedrows, tree-lined roads, fields, bombed-out and not-so-bombed out villages, farmhouses, villas, churches, big river crossings.

Italy: Like Western front but more arid, more mountainous (steep inclines, rocky faces)

Africa: Desert hills, palms, adobe-style buildings.

But I'm hardly an expert =P. Guys who actually live in Europe could probably tell you a lot better than some American on the west coast.

1:72/20mm Probably will make scratchbuilding easier.

Thanks Sarge, thats good stuff.

Italeri make some nice 1/72 houses, plastic easy kits ( country house and country house with porch). Reasonably priced.
Also they make the cool Berlin House but its expensive.

If you're looking at the Eastern Front, Pegasus do some nice kits (large log house, two smaller log houses or two farmhouses for about £7 a set). And, as mentioned above, there are paper building sets available for large-scale urban terrain if you want to keep the costs down. Have a look at the Wargames Vault (link on main Mongoose page).
