  • In this video, I take you through the tour of the board I created for my Operation Dark Winter solo campaign. This board is inspired by the New York City streets and I showcase the different brands I used for buildings or scatter terrain.
    If you want to learn more about this campaign, here is a page dedicated to it:
    / operationdarkwinter
    All the files used for this campaign can be found here, including world map, loot cards, rules...

    These tables look amazing. Yeah an hour set up is a long time but it looks worth it. I love the glass, posters and clumps of scatter terrain
    It just looks so realistic

    have you ever thought of making a cinematic scenario, where one round of spec ops looks like a mini movie, maybe with the rolls being showed as hit marks(kinda like hit marks from the call of duty games but dice number) if that makes sense...?

    How do you feel about battle mats?

    • @TheSoloWargamer
      @TheSoloWargamer  2 роки тому +1

      I'm honestly not sure.
      My first project was set in the middle east and use a battle mat. I'll post some images on Facebook later this week as I took it out actually this weekend after filming my battle report, didn't saw it for quite a long time and it was great to see it with some of the Dark Winter props. I guess it's easier to move minis around on a mat. You can also have more flexibility if you have some random road instead of stick to the grid I have for Dark Winter. The main problem for me is that it doesn't look that much realistic and with my current lightiung settup I saw a lot of light reflection.
      I'm still not sure how I'm going to do my next board in the tarkov universe.

      @@TheSoloWargamer I've been picking up Deep Cut Studio mats recently - especially those with a neoprene mouse-mat construction. I try not to get any that have 'macro' terrain features but otherwise provide good surface texture to the game space. Then I build on that foundation with major and scatter terrain to complete the table. While a simple colored drop cloth will do, a good mat really adds visual depth.

    • @TheSoloWargamer
      @TheSoloWargamer  2 роки тому

      I also have a mat from deepcut but in pvc. Will definitely take a mouse-mat next time. Primarch Echs, do you have some pictures of your board with your mat I can see somewhere?

      I understand your perspective, but I appreciate the movement. The changing perspectives allow me to see the scale more accurately than a fixed angle would. Mel the Terrain Tutor already has a similar board build video with a fixed camera for those that get motion sickness. I think this is original and great!
