Battlefields of Star Wars 'Scape - BoSS

Since it is suppose to be a landing pad where cargo could be loaded or unloaded, I think a bunch of crates, containers, and canisters along the edges would work.
 
I'd fan them out in an almost circular pattern leaving the centralized part open. Thematically for ships that land and unload. Really cool. I'll hold up on my other maps that are almost finished in virtualscape for Mustafar, and the Emperors throne room.
 
Don't hold off on anything on my account. Lets keep the momentum going and perhaps have a 1/2 dozen Battlefront maps to roll out with the rules. I may be able to get some informal testing done when I host a Heroscape night on April 7th. My plan was to have one HoSS game set up, one Classic game set up, and one C3G game set up but perhaps I can change directions. I'll have to see how many Battlefront style HoSS armies I have figures to field all at once. If I have enough for 4 armies, then I'll have people try out our rules on two of our maps. Rebels, Empire, Independent make 3, not sure if I have enough common troops for a 4th army though. So it might just be one map I can set up with 3 armies for people to choose from.
 
Alright, Here is the Death Star Throne Room

Death Star Throne Room VS FILE

Build Requirements: 2 marvel, 2 FOTA
Not as impressive as Mygeeto, but looks great. I've had this in the chamber for awhile but its just gettin unloaded. I'm thinking the Green start zone space could be a FX-7 Medical droid, or a bacta tank.

I did a lot of research on this section of rooms when building my own piece of terrain of it awhile back. You have the throne room, the elevator, 2 offset side rooms that are start rooms, and a room off the backside of the elevator for a FX7 droid or bacta tank.

Dang it. I really need to get another Marvel set some day. That looks awesome.
 
@japes, did you see my battle for mygeeto map. It now has a design Holocron for it after getting voted in. That one is an epic Battlefront map.
 
@japes, I've play tested it a couple times, I was awesome. Make sure you use the rules in the OP for the latest version of Battlefront. I think we are nailing it down.
 
I've been a little bit inactive lately due to my inter-state move, but I'm hoping to be able to start contributing again in the near future. Catching up on this; this is looking awesome TREX!!
 
@Yodaking, are you proposing to LD the Scariff landing platform map? I would give you my pre :up: for it.
If you guys want me to make another thread for the Death Star Throne room, I'll call a vote for it. I don't want to go all nuts on LD'ing a ton of maps while no one else really does but if you guys don't mind I'll call a vote on it too. At least then it can be found easier. I already had to dig a little for it just to find it in this thread. I've got no problem getting them tested a couple times each at least. The format is quite fun and doesn't take too long once you capture a few control points. When you battle for control points a good many figures are lost, but at the end of each round, even more get lost because of the wannock nature of the control points. You guys let me know.
 
Yeah, I'll try to contribute one map to include with, and test on, the new Battlefront rules. I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to move on it but as I mentioned earlier I may be able to get some guinea pigs over to test the map and rules two Fridays from now.

As for the flurry of activity you have going on right now, I don't think you should put the breaks on until you feel like you need to. We haven't had any activity around these parts for a while and I don't see too many other people eager to contribute so I say go hog wild. I'll try to help where I can and if you only managed to finish up half of what you start before getting burned out, it will be better than trying to go slow and losing interest in the project.
 
Okay, looks like I bit off more than I could chew on this one. I think I'm gonna have to step down. It's just that I have a ton going on with music right now, and I can't give enough time or dedication towards this. Sorry ya'll.

I wish you guys the best with this. Good luck :up:

@Yodaking, based on what you said about going hog wild with maps for the Battlefront System, I Guess I'll call a vote on starting up a thread for the Death Star Throne Room as well to make a Design Holocron for it.

TREX :up:

@DanieLoche

I guess it's just the three of us for now. I have a map for Battle of Mustafar, but I'm not happy enough with it yet to present it anyway.

So instead of putting it on the list of things to do, I just started working on a map right away and pushed other things back. This is what I have come up with so far. I wanted to try and create a Battlefront style map for the new location of Scarif seen in Rogue One. Uses 1 RotV, 1 Marvel, & 2 TJ sets. Features a sort of landing pad area with walkways leading off north and south. Then jungle, water, & sand are east & west, where the two forces enter from. 5 control points, two fairly close to the start zones and 1 in the middle. Even though the 2 are close to the start zone, should an opponent be able to take either one of them I think it is possible to hold it with the way the jungle plants and water are arranged.

Alright. I think I'm going to try and build this map this week and potentially use it for some tests so lets go ahead and make it official. I've continued to tweak the map a little along with deciding to go with some cargo DO's on the landing pad area. I'll post up an updated file once I get a chance to build it and see what it looks like in person. Anyway, I propose Scarif Beach Assault for a new map thread.
