Space Battle Map For Gencon Game 4
Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2014 9:50 am
The final battle (Game 4 on Sunday Morning) Game board for GENCON.
This will be a space battle between the forces that were fighting in Macross City during the spacefold of the SDF-1. (I know I may be stretching canon a bit, but since there is multiple canons…
) Ground Forces of both sides are locked in a bitter battle in the streets of Macross…suddenly the SDF-1 reenters the atmosphere over Macross Island, engages its Space Fold Drive and disappears along with Macross City, part of the island, part of the Pacific Ocean, and all of the combatants in the streets of Macross City.
Now, forces disoriented, pilots and their mecha assess the situation, regroup and continue the battle. Will the Zents overwhelm the defenders of the SDF-1, a claim the ship in the confusion? Or will the units of the UEDF use what they have, regroup, and mop up the area, before the main Zent Fleet discovers their location.
Here is the plan:
I need a 6X4 space field map. I found one at FrontLine Gaming. It is on order; I will review it when it arrives. http://www.frontlinegaming.org/shop/frontline-gaming-and-tablewar-gaming-mat-space-6x4%e2%80%b2-pre-order/ I plan to populate the map with several LOS blocking terrain. The smaller pieces would be the smaller debris left over from the island as the water and earth are pushed away from the area by the rapid decompression of the ‘bubble’ of atmosphere. The center piece would be a larger chunk of an outskirt of the city, with roads, concrete, and a demolished building still on its surface. Here is a basic layout:

More to come as I build this for GENCON.
