My modular fortress was designed to work with a grid made up of 50mm x 50mm squares, but as I also own quite a lot of Hexon II hexed terrain I wondered if it might work on that as well. I therefore set up some of my Hexon II hexes with modules from my modular fortress on them to see how they looked. The results can be seen below.
I don't think that the modules look too out of place on my Hexon II hexes, mainly because the hexes measure 100m from face to face (i.e. twice the size of a module).
One thing that is apparent is that I need to think about making some corner modules that aren't towers ... or at least that aren't tall towers. I am not sure when I will be able to get around to making these corner modules, but hopefully I will manage to do so at some point early in 2016.

It has promise. Even if some pieces over lap hexes or there are 2 in 1 area the 1 unit per hex should be easily verified by glancing at the hexes rather then the walls. From here it looks like a 5 piece/4 hex wall with corner towers might place each tower clearly in a hex with the wall being 3 pieces/2 hexes wide. But that is pure speculation based on the photos.
ReplyDeleteCertainly a versatile fortification.
Ross Mac,
ReplyDeleteI suspect that a bit more experimentation is going to be needed ... and that I might need to build some specific corner pieces that are not towers to help it work better with hexes.
All the best,

Careful Bob. I foresee something Vaubanesque being developed to fit those hexagons...
ReplyDeleteWhiskers,
ReplyDeleteFunny that you should make that comment but it is something that I have been thinking about!
All the best,
Bob
Looking good, Bob! All it needs now is an oversized Italian flag and a few Bren carriers nosing optimistically around the gate.
ReplyDeleteRegards, Chris.
Chris Kemp,
ReplyDeleteCheers! Thanks for the idea; I may well have to make a suitably large flagpole for my modular fortress.
All the best,
Bob
