Hi,
I'm trying to get a clear picture of what's makes a good building for Flames of War. I understand being able to put teams inside buildings is important. (Especially for competitions.)

How many teams, in an ideal world and what mix of buildings?

I've built a farm and barn with space for one each and a Stable with space for two. More than that and they look a little big for the table?
Input appreciated.
Regards

A generic sized building should fit 1-2 medium bases on each floor. Consider that a team is around 4-5 guys and that they're moving around inside in fighting positions, not just standing elbow to elbow inside. Anything bigger is a pretty big building.

Your terrain size sounds about right. Got any pictures?

Thanks for this.
I do have some pictures.

There's a video at the bottom showing how they fit together.

All these ones sold on eBay so I don't have them anymore.
Thinking about the next ones to build.

I was thinking of putting together a group of buildings with walls.
If I made enough space inside the buildings and behind 'bulletproof' walls for a full platoon I think that would be interesting.

Need to think about it. Farmhouse 2 teams on ground floor, 2 on second floor. Barn (1). Stable (2). Livestock barn (2).
Enough space between with walls to accommodate rest of a platoon.

Worth thinking about?

PS: Newbie on this forum.... didn't want to show the pictures till the buildings were already sold.... What's the protoco herel?
