Scenery
Imagination is always the best playmate. In this section you will find some useful tips to help in this our dear old friend to make our table game more attractive and pleasant as possible. Besides you can find lots of little ideas and tips to make your three-dimensional game plan, adding islands, atolls, coastal profiles, airports, sea forts, which you can easily make yourself. As you can see the materials proposed are all readily available, low cost and with a little patience and fun you can build an entire set of alternative to the basic infrastructure provided by the game. Good luck and above all good fun.
Paper Ships
The rules does not provide thumbnail images of their items but only scenic and vessels made of cardboard.
Who would want in alternative to provide infrastructure or purchase of polystyrene models scale of the ships can with a little 'good will give a more our three-dimensional images of cardboard.
First of all ships and infrastructure must be carefully cut using a good sharp scissors or a cutter.
Once this is done we have to decide which type of material paste our avatar's ships.
You can use the cardboard of various thicknesses, or of plasticard or poliplat.
The card is easy to find and easy to cut but you have to be very careful about the type of the right to make so that you do not buckle in contact with moisture.
The plasticard and poliplat not have this problem even though they cost a bit more.
The plastic sheets are plasticard ranging from sub-millimeter thicknesses up to 2 or 3 mm.
As we mentioned in other sections can be found in stationery stores or hobby shops in sheets of A4 size and are not dissimilar from the plastic they are made with credit cards and phone cards.
The thinner sheets are cut easily with scissors, the thicker it must affect them lightly with a cutter and then they split.
The poliplat instead are two thin sheets of plastic that contain a substance spongy and light. This material also exist in various thicknesses and is easy to cut with a good cutter.
The shapes of ships duly cut and paste a figure of between 2 and 3 mm thick will be able to create a good three-dimensional effect and will be much easier to move than just cardboard.
The glue is great for gluing the shapes on cardboard and other materials as long as you do not overdo it and that it uses a layer of a minimum in order not to soak too much cardboard cutout.
The use of spray glue should give an excellent result.
With a little more patience, you can create silhouettes of two, three or four levels, properly choosing the thickness of the materials used.
Just cut out the sections that we want to display a certain level and then prepare a piece of plasticard, cardboard or poliplat suitable on which to paste the image.
The first layer to the bridge, the second for the artillery and the raised deck, the third for the tower and the funnels.
Any or several layers of plasticard poliplat can be glued together with liquid glue for plastic.
Playing surface
One of the more restrictive requirements of the naval wargame has always been his request for rather important areas.
Admiral, compressing the range of factors drive tries to bring some remedy to this problem.
In any case, the requirements in terms of size of the playing surface are higher than those of any other wargame. We do not think this is a defect, it is a peculiarity that makes it even more special and attractive this type of game.
Since it would be stupid to think that everyone can have a shelf of adequate size we want to give some advice to solve this problem.
If you do not have sufficiently large gaming shelves is possible with a minimum expenditure of achieving modular so they can be easily disassembled and stored in small spaces.
Are commercially available at any retailer of building materials, provided the least, polystyrene insulating plates, typically of size 125 X 60. The thickness can vary but we recommend that you use those 4 to 5 cm thick.
Shopping for a modest sum 6 sheets of this material will get the game from shelves joined together and arranged on at least two tables can become an excellent playing surface and then, thanks to their lightness be easily stored.
A sheet of blue fabric for curtains, you can easily find in a fabric shop will do the rest, as an alternative to a cloth tablecloths with a color and pattern can be a suitable solution just as enjoyable.
