Hexon Starter set??
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2016 1:43 pm
I've emailed Kallistra this but it seems they are away until July 7th so I thought I would go ahead and post here to see what others might suggest.
Hello! I am interested in purchasing some of the Hexon terrain but I have a few questions. I am in the USA so I know shipping is going to be painful so I wanted to place an order that would see me able to have plenty of variety in my terrain and only order smaller things in the future.
First, I play 3mm modern and 6mm SciFi, Fantasy and Ancients/Dark Ages/Medieval. Mass battles, of course. I also do some spaceship gaming. I also play a lot of board wargames and would love to put some of those into miniatures
The largest size that I could make is 8 foot x 4 foot. Not that I would always play on a table that big so let’s assume a 6x4 table would be the typical gaming space.
I was thinking of getting:
3 of HEXON II Box Set - TRILPE 7 MIX – So this should give me 21 of each type to get a good mix and would be enough for an 8x4 table.
1 of HEXON II Box Set – BLACK – Just a small set for some spaceship gaming, although I could get more of this also. I need to check some of my hex games for typical table size
My uncertainty comes to how much road and brooks to get, along with is it better to get single hex or multi-hex pieces? I thought about getting each of the road and stream sets which include multi-hex pieces and single pieces which should give me plenty of variety.
Same goes for hills, escarpments, mountains…
I'll take a look at some of my hex based games to see some of the scenarios they setup to help me get an idea, also.
I’ve searched the forums and TMP but haven’t found anything that directly answers my questions (but everyone raves about the product so I feel confident about buying it).
So I guess I am looking for some suggestions for a really nice starter set that would keep me happy for awhile.
Most likely I would order at the end of July after I attend Historicon.
Thanks for any suggestions!
