I did ask this question on another thread and didn't get an answer?
What is the recommended templates to take to a game. Then I can make up some basic boxes with basic needed templates and then add any extra if needed or requested etc ?
Miles
It can of course vary Miles.
My suggestion is as follows:-
12 are needed
from a selection=
4 woods
4 buildings
2 marshes
2 rough hills
1 gentle hill
1 gully
plus 16 partial "one square" markers.
This gives 14 pieces.
Most players will/can make do with this.
Players can of course bring their own 6 pieces.
That is an "easy" option because the 6 scenery is chosen before the piggy chase etc.
The above selection will stop the game being fully built up or wooded.

Thank you.
It's just nice to have a rough guide what to include ?
20 pieces of Partials and not the 16 in other games systems ?
It is easier to have "Both" sides templates in the box ? Of course if people like to bring their own or want particular pieces in the game please say ?
But from a practical point of view I wanted to make up some basic terrain boxes with certain main pieces in ?
Also wanted to finish off over the next few months terrain pieces that might be useful to the main 3 games of SCW,PBI and now AK47 ? As well as MoCB ?

Partials are 16 for AK and PBI.
Stewart also has a scenery set per army system.

In my boxes for PBI 1 have
4 x 4 Game Mat
Templates
6 Buildings
6 Trees
2 Gentle hills
2 Rough hills
3 rough ground/Marsh
3 gullies
16 Partial
Buildings/trees/rough ground & gullie markers

For those who are on a lower budget they can make 12 felt templates. Then just place trees, gully, buildings as appropriate.
The S+A templates are superb and would only have been a dream back in the 1970/80s.
I am happy/enjoy to make templates for my games. I enjoy the benefit to the look of the game. The days of "a bit of felt with two lollipop trees= wood" are an anathema to me.
Scenery can take time to make, but in RFCM games you get to bring your own and use what you have made. No alpha player setting up the scenery in the way that best suits him. Horrible but still too common.

So 16 partials has changed from the 20 in version 94 ?

Sorry did not remember that.

I did try and remind you, the Subtlies between each game system especially when you play one type quite a lot ?
16 is for AK47 and SCW. Maybe Mexico ?
But anyway 14 templates in the box is good then allowing for a couple extra.
Miles
Thanks for the reminder Miles, noted.
