Title: Forward Air and Naval Base
Post by: Ruckdog on November 06, 2020, 01:24:00 pm

Just finished these little guys up! They are representations of a forward naval base and a forward air base, both of which exist as fan-made cards in War At Sea. These are 3D prints that were designed by squint181.

Great weathering on the buildings!  I am not familiar with the rules of War at Sea though, are the sizes of the base footprints defined, and are these part of a force or meant to be used as objectives?

Very cool!

I would love to see them in action!

WAS is a very simple system, so the actual size of a model is not all that important since all ranges are measured using sectors. These models are taken as a unit in your force, and give you some interesting tactical options.
