40k battlefield idea.

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

which of these two monster battle fields would you most want to play with.

1. an exact 28mm scale replica of Gettysburg and Imperial Guard units are allowed to deploy on top of spyglass hill.

2. an exact 28mm scale replica of Stalingrad, snipers may be considered IC and deploy anywhere.

Stalingrad is not only more befitting of a 40k setting, but it'd make for much more interesting gameplay as well.

Gettysburg was really just a huge field. :P

Stalingrad, because playing on a field would be dull-ass boring: might as well just play on an empty tabletop.

actually there is a lot of topography at Gettysburg you darn iowans. Infact the North Held the Highground, the south held some forests, and there was a small town involved in that battle.

It would still be relatively boring and dull compared to a city.

I'm getting the impression that I simply didn't supply the answer you wanted...

But allow me to repeat myself: Stalingrad is more interesting than Gettysburg.
