Modular River Terrain Ticklist

The Red River, scene of Admiral Porter's de-pantsing in 1864

I've worked out the list of river tiles that I need to construct to complete enough for my solo campaign, although for one off games I have a fair set up already. The ones I need to make include:

* A double gun battery (one on either bank).

* A half section with a Bridge (probably a railroad trestle).

* A Left Hand Bend.

* Two sections of Bluffs (left and right banks).

* A section with wooded banks.

* A section of marsh.

* A section of narrows.

* A tributary.

* A dead end / shallows.

This is quite a lot but I can take it one step at a time, perhaps making two or three sections as and when required. I've ordered some of the Brigade Models 1/1000th scale American buildings to use for the town section, together with some railway tracks and girder bridges that I can use to make a trestle bridge. This will be quite a big job but I'll aim to get another three or four sections completed over the next couple of months, probably starting with the left hand bend, the narrows, a section of woods and the tributary, as they are all relatively simple.
