Dear 'Scruff'
The 'Kits' comes as 2ft x 2ft corner sections - with 2ft on each of the facing walls - basically 'L' in shape....this gives 4ft of walling in each kit - for £300 built, based, landscaped and painted to the standard shown in the photos
The idea being that from the basic kit, it could then be extended with other 'wall pieces' in whatever direction a person wanted. The basis 'corner kits' caters for anyone that wanted just a 2'x2' feature on a corner of a gaming table...all the way up to....well, sky's the limit.
The extension pieces will be sold as a seperate range and will feature individual 1ft plain wall sections and 1ft breached wall sections, that can be purchased in any quantity as required. As these walls are all individually based, they can be easily 'replaced' during a game with a breached wall section to represent a destroyed section - allowing your storming party access!!!
As walls are based on Londonderry 1689 - they are not symetrical. The differing widths of the walkways on the battlements, offset wall angles, bastions with different apertures etc of the Kits is based on historic Derry - but with allowances for gaming practicality. Our concept is to have units and artillery manning the battlements, rather than having to line up single figures, precariously balanced, at all sorts of angles to represent the garrisons. These are proper walls, historically researched - but with gaming practicalities.
'Kit 1' features our interpretation of:
Bishops Gatehouse
The Double Bastion Wall Section
The Grand Parade
The Royal Bastion
Although based on these historic structures, they do not need to be used to represent them....they would be easily taken as any Town Walls from the English Civil War onwards.
I believe Barry is planning to add some photos from our Carronade Demo game when he has a moment into the gallery and I will add further photos to this thread over the next 24hrs for further visual clarification.
