Scenery Gaming board design and construction

Questions: why does the Scenery need to be slotted? If the base is only 3mm thick like a normal figure base it couldn’t just sit wherever it needs to?

Drilling precise holes nearly 6 inches diameter sounds like real work.

 

What sort of landscape are you wanting to go for? Will there be large edge-of-the-Board pieces like in the example photo?

 

Graphing out an idea:


A-D-E could be swapped freely.
B-C-F could be swapped freely.

That is at least (6x4x2) x (6x4x2) = 2304 different board configurations. (Possibly more....not sure I have the combinatorial maths correctly sorted.)

Also note that each square is ~approximately~ 152mm.

 

@Crowsfoot 's Realm of Death. I like the imagery here, you gathering any pics for inspiration?

And I also like @pendrake 's design ideas for building your own board.

 

Thanks.

The bright colors could be the sandy/gravel/rock strewn areas. The open zones could be that leather texture by itself. (Or reverse it.) I only used colors for easy reference. The key is to have the boundary between the two types intersect the edge of the tile at exactly the middle.

Note that each tile can be rotated 180°. But that 90° rotations will cause a texture mismatch.

The 150mm rounds you’ve got on order would fit just inside any square of the graph paper.

I calculated the total configurations two other ways: came up with either 46,080 or 23,040. (Not entirely sure how to eliminate duplicate combinations that result from rotating the entire table once it is assembled.)

 

I had a discussion with a friend who is better at Maths than I am (...very literally used the phone-a-friend option). I now believe the correct answer for Number of Combos is:

92,160


24 × 10 × 8 × 6 × 4 × 2

 

@Crowsfoot will there be two or three big, multi-level, terrain pieces that fit against the edges of the table?

(I ask because the example had such things.)
