CANCON 2025

My contribution to Cancon 2025 was providing a jungle table and European terrain for WAT for Steve McGugian as a game master.

The jungle table is based on action on Tarakan in 1945 with the Australians  battling the Japanese for control of the island. Many weeks prior to the event where put into playtesting with Chris, Steve and myself and we were given permission by Richard Clarke to use a draft of version 2 of Chain of Command.

Steve has been working on putting a campaign for CoC and this was one of the scenarios. 

Unfortunately I fell sick during the event and had to return home so I missed out on a lot, hence very few images and missed out on talking and meeting a lot of people including Richard. 

The jungle table set up at home for playtesting


Steve provided  some great information to the players for the battle.
First contenders battling out for control of Tarakan with Steve supervising.
This is a image of one of Len Tracy's gaming tables. Its a night battle and to give that impression, Len decided to use a dark gaming mat with all the terrain items in a dull greyish black colour. I thought this was very clever and has given me ideas for making a Greyscale  type table for night actions.

CHEERS JOHN

  2. Amazing stuff! Where did you get those banana plants and houses? Also you had a cool shack in another post with woven looking walls I was wondering about the source of.

    1. Thanks Jesse for your comments, the huts are from knights of dice (unfortunately they have closed shop), the banana trees are scratch build by me I bought some plastic flowers from a 2 dollar store and cut them in shape with a pair of scissors then sprayed them with green spray can, and add some detail with a brush. The huts lined with a fabric material are scratch build by me as well.I bought the fabric from spotlight store,its basically a store with fabrics craft and lot of other stuff. Hope this helps
