Hi Secundus, I'm treating the boards like one, very big base! I'm even using my basing gunk on them.

Looking great! I need to shoot you an email sometime soon. I need some advice on putting together a big project (maybe not Zama big) for our 2011 convention.

I once had a book on cinematic disasters (mainly of the financial kind - i.e. millions invested but only a few dollars at the box office).

When Mussolini came to power and the invasion of Abbasynia / Ethiopia etc. was underway they wanted a reminder of past successes of Italians in North Africa.

So they made a film version of the Battle of Zama - including drafting thousands of soldiers in as extras dressed in Roman and Carthaginian armour.

The elephants they used went haywire and trampled the set on several occasions and (in terms of your scenery point) managed to film a key sequence with hundreds of Romans in battle with a line of telegraph poles clearly silouetted in the background!

So perhaps a line of poles would add something to your scenery!

Needless to say, it bombed in the box office!

Hi Phil, IIRC it was directed by Mussolini's son or nephew, which may explain the telegraph poles! I've not see it, myself; but apparently all the poor elephants were killed at the end, and after filming the extras were sent off to fight in Ethiopia.
