Title: Double decker gaming table- build it, they will come
Post by: Doc Barber on November 12, 2010, 06:59:48 PM
It sucks when you have to either put the game away, or not use the table for something else- but I stumbled across an alternative.  After doing some bathroom remodeling I had an almost full sheet of 1/2" plywood, and a bunch of scrap 2"x2" a little over a foot long.  I screwed 4 of the 2" along the long edge of the plywood, and one along the short edge.  Skootch in the pieces on the West coast a little bit, write down what you have on your production charts, put a piece of 2"x2" in some unoccupied territory in the middle of the map as abrace , and you're all set until the hostilities can resume at a more convenient time.  This works especially well if you have a Catzilla/Feline Assassin of Joy like I do. more pics coming soon!

doc

you need to download my spreadsheets, they will keep all the game data.

we continued the game from Area 51 at YuleCon this weekend and the spread sheets were great, only downside is the time it takes to set back up (have more than 2 people setting up)

thanks

I would love to see some pictures.

I was thinking about that- and as soon as I beg, borrow, steal, or buy a digi cam, and master that there tekkyknowledgeable skill I'll put the pics up.
