That might work-- I wonder how many cubes they have to support it....

That's actually something I was thinking of last night-- perhaps something
like:
This area is kinda
"outside" the city,
but away from battle

The only structures that really NEED to be somewhere flat are probably the Inn
and the church-- and they could go right by the front of the town (kinda makes
sense anyway)... all of my houses can pretty much go anywhere...
The more I think about it the more I think we should probably go for store
display style rather than "realistic"-- and maybe we can do the "realistic"
display for Castle World pics or something-- that way we're also not limited by
space requirements, etc...

That might look pretty cool! How much do printings like that run, ballpark? (I
have NO idea)-- I might consider paying for one myself! (much better than those
Aquazone posters, etc that TLC came out with :)

Hmmm... Available sets:
Axe Cart - definitely usable
Defense Archer - POSSIBLY... he could be doing target practice or something
Catapult Crusher - definitely
Guarded Treasury - probably not-- not the right scale, etc
Royal Joust - Another maybe.. depends on how we do the scene
Bull's Attack - definitely
King Leo's Castle - probably not
Did I miss any?

Perhaps for use as "covers" for the front of cubes? A 16"x16" BURP square so we
can cover the front of cubes with ABS rather than a bedspread or something? (No
offense to Shaun's spread, of course! :)
Just some thoughts,
