I ordered some more of the excellent Brigade Models Small Scale Scenery fortifications before the holidays, this time focusing on medieval town defences for potential siege assaults, or just as scenery in the background of set piece battles. The idea is to use the various components to construct lengths of curtain walls including both square and round towers, gatehouse and destroyed sections, alongside siege works and other defensive features, inspired by the siege of Plymouth.
Someone else interested in siege warfare, Hooray! Assuming that this is for your 2mm ECW Portable project then have a look at these excellent 6mm fortresses here: https://www.paperterrain.com/vauban-forts As usual with such large structures, manufactures scale them down and so the 6mm is actually about the actual scale footprint of 1: 2,500 and fits 2mm both in terms of height and width. Similarly Rod Langton's Toulouse fortifications would fit a scale of 1: 1,000 and fit 2mm as well. http://www.rodlangton.com/napoleonic/contents.htm
ReplyDeleteI find the Brigade buildings very good but that they come up very small either in relation to the figures (2mm) or in relation to the ground scale often 1: 1,000-2,500 but still useful.
