Hi all, I have been working on developing a narrative T&T campaign for my game group to play once the pandemic is over, and am wondering about others thoughts on terrain scale. I know from browsing the forum that a smaller scale than the planes tends to be the preference to create some forced perspective, but the tripods being ground vehicles makes me wonder...
One of the scenarios I am including will be a scramble to defend the players’ Aerodrome from a tripod raid, and I am thinking of utilizing N scale (1:160) buildings and trees to create obstacles that have to be avoided for such a low-altitude scenario. The climax of the campaign will be a defense of central London, and for that I am going to shrink the scale somewhat so Big Ben is a manageable size, and I can construct other landmarks that rise above the “rooftops” level of the map using cardstock models.
Has anyone else built terrain the same scale as the planes? Are the tripods 1:144 or are they smaller?
Thoughts appreciated, ultimately I am going to be building each scenario to whatever scale fits the “theatrical intent,” and I have quite a few months still to do it, so combined with my model railroad collection it shouldn’t be too onerous. The real stumper is how I am going to handle the Dover cliffs for the scenario where the tripods are wading ashore from France, HMS Thunder Child blazing away at them from the Channel.
