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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)

(...) Yup, I picked up about 12 more cannons + a 6268 + about 40-50 pirate minifigs. Also got about 10 other assorted pirate sets + some Blue Soldier figs, ooh and some cutter bow bricks + plates so I can build a few more class 1 / 2 ships. Steve (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.gaming)
