Should have to either widen the straight roads or narrow the slants (however you want to think of that) to get the edges to match. Correct?

Figured I'd study Fulda gap a little more, to maximize the utility of those pieces before adding them. irishserbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667912663079268177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-4907339529679944182021-11-26T07:05:59.254-05:002021-11-26T07:05:59.254-05:00Glad you found it of some interest, thanks.Glad you found it of some interest, thanks.irishserbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667912663079268177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-7959326897135720542021-11-26T07:05:28.463-05:002021-11-26T07:05:28.463-05:00Lots of good information out there for mid-1980s, ...Lots of good information out there for mid-1980s, best of luck should you pursue it. irishserbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667912663079268177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-35460285207789352542021-11-26T07:01:48.137-05:002021-11-26T07:01:48.137-05:00I have to admit, tht after playing a lot of games ...I have to admit, tht after playing a lot of games set in Russia and North Africa, that I had lost a sense for the terrain density.

Looking forwards to seeing some pics of the actual tiles! I notice that all your roads are straight in the diagrams, is that how they will all be or will some be more winding within the tiles as long as the edges match up with the rest?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312982908057794491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-8475403777227140302021-11-25T19:21:03.423-05:002021-11-25T19:21:03.423-05:00Thanks, Looking forward to part 2.Thanks, Looking forward to part 2.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792214612388638186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-76794433117181426382021-11-24T19:14:00.378-05:002021-11-24T19:14:00.378-05:00Great post- makes me consider my games in terms of...Great post- makes me consider my games in terms of ground scale and the density of terrain much more.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Pete.Pete.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06668389518826053090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-43976135575450348302021-11-24T14:42:37.272-05:002021-11-24T14:42:37.272-05:00All interesting stuff, and all the more so to me c...All interesting stuff, and all the more so to me currently since I have been looking at Cold war Germany as well lately (albeit 1985ish, and further south).Lasgunpackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529298072677726064noreply@blogger.com
