(...) It was great fun, and Steve and I snagged loads of Pirate stuff! (We even split a few lots--I'm full of shako hats and flags now, including loads of solid-white and solid-red (gunport cover) flags! Epaulettes? Oh my, yes! (...) That's a good (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.gaming)

I was thinking of building some of the larger islands out of yellow/green plates 'n bricks, mounted on 32x32 blue baseboards (must build R'lyeh). I already have a few of the smaller island baseplates and I'm hoping to pick up some pirate stuff at (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Yea, it would be nice to have less square islands, though it really doesn't affect the game that much. I do like the Belville base bricks for the reason that the islands do look a little less square. Frank (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) The only downside, IMHO, is that so many of our islands were, well, square. Granted, this is hard to avoid, but I'm going to try and put together some more organic-shaped islands. (...) Ack. I think they posted the URL in .wamalug...but I (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Ideally you use actual island baseplates. Granted, this may be difficult or impossible nowadays--but I remember we had islands of all sizes, some 16x16, some 16x32, some 32x32. It is, as always, governed by what you want to be on the island. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.gaming)

How big do you guys make your islands? I'm looking at using 32x32 baseplates for a game I'll be running for the UK student wargaming nationals. Steve (24 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.gaming)
