    As I am far away from the site of presently sheduled battles I thought I might throw out this idea for a reasonably cheap Idea to add another dimension to some future battle.

 

      A couple of large cheap blue plastic tarps available from harbor freight or locally from stores like Fleet Farm (wisconsin) to represent bodies of water and bridges.  The bridges could initially just be spaces between the tarps to represent natural bridges but some creative person could put togather some cheap plywood ones as well.  My thought is that the bridges are only wide enough for one tank to fit through and rails or rules to prevent tanks from firing while on the bridge.  It might make for some interesting manuvering chalenges with the ability to control (perhaps destroy) bridges, pin tanks against the edge of the water, and close lines of retreat.  With a simple rule if your tank touches the tarp you are mired in mud.

 

     Of course water area could be marked out with stakes and string, but the big blue tarps would provide an instant visual referrence and are not overly expensive. 

 

Just a thought
