One of the keys to my plans for wargaming in small spaces is keeping terrain requirements in check. All of my gaming ambitions need to be stored when not actively engaged. I suspect the average wargamer has more storage occupied with terrain than miniatures or rulebooks. My plan is to be able to combine simple buildings into more complicated (interesting) built up areas, giving me more complexity with fewer starting components. With a church, 2 cottages, a barn, and a fort, I was able to create a small town, a gated farmstead, and a small fortress. The small fortress and farm can exist without creating duplicates of any pieces. Putting the town on the map with either the fort or farm would require a duplicate of one of the houses.

I'm not completely convinced I've got the fences and gates right. I'll keep working on them. Only the Generals remain, and rightfully so, my daughter wants her pink army to be led by a princess bear. I'm thinking that the coat would be the same for the Princess General as the other bears, but have a skirt covering her legs.
