Modelling village sectors in Great War Spearhead, and Volley and Bayonet.

With plans in train to play another Great War Spearhead game in 20mm set amongst the highest mountain tops of the Carpathians, I was setting out the table and decided I needed some village sectors. Village sectors provide both concealment and cover, but differ from town sectors in that you can apply direct fire into and out of the sectors. I wanted to model the villages with suitable buildings, but also be able to position stands in the sector without having them 'perched ' on top of the model buildings.

I had these 15mm resin cast building that have sat in a box unused for several decades. So.. a 3"x3" base, and the buildings painted.

However the buildings are removable, with a pseudo cobble appearance painted in the outline of the building.




The village sectors set in place on the table ready for a game.


These 'sectors' will also be suitable as 'villages' in my other 'go to' historical rules set, Volley and Bayonet.

    Hi Robin! Great idea and lovely execution! How did you achieve the cobbled effect?

    1. Thanks Martin. The cobbles are hand drawn on a black background, then painted in gray, with a white spot highlight added to each 'cobble'. I try to make them slightly irregular
