> How the hell do we get to play on that table? Are all the bulidings Yep, all scratchbuilt and muti-level. Most have 2 to 3 stories with removable roof/floor to allow access to all parts of the bldg. Took about 6 months to put it all together. The Urban campaign Owen and I are about to start will truley be a meat grinder !

> How will you be doing the levels, We are leaving it setup in my garage for as long as it takes :-) so packing up and resetting up wont be a problem. At the end of a 12 turn game, we will resolve any contested buildings and lay a bit of string to seperate 'my' bldgs from 'Owen's' bldgs to show the Forward Edge of the Battle Area (FEBA). A Campaign turn will occur between games for reinforcements, casualty resolution and so on... At the start of the next game, troops will start with hidden setup anywhere on your own side of the FEBA. Each side rolls a d4 and thats how many bdlgs must have their contents revealed (from surveillance probing etc) Hidden movement will occur within each game- simply asking the other player to turn around (or go and make the coffee) and move accordingly (only gentlemen to play!) The object of the whole campaign is to capture the 'Planetary Governor's Residence' which is about 3/4 of the way down the board and has a nice park out the front for even more killing ground! Other comments or suggestions for running this 'Mass Urban' game appreciated...
