Default Vassal Boards

I wasn't exactly sure where to post these, but I'm quite certain this is the rightful spot. It is, afterall, art.

I have saved all of these boards if anyone wants to have/use them. A few of them you may have to click on one or three terrain features to get it viewed right when you upload them.

The idea behind some of them is to think outside the normal nature of the Vassal terrain. E.g. blood for magma, the basic building for a slab of flat concrete, Necron kills for bodies, merge buildings together to make new dimensions to the existing ones, unify the themes from different boards.

The boards also have a method for player (1) and player (2) to have a method of keeping track of kill points on a side-by-side scoreboard on the far right side by cloning skull counters, or use saved room on the left side to clone multiple Objectives before their placement.



DYGOS -- "CENTER OF DESTRUCTION"
A terrifying orbital bombardment shakes the ground before the battle begins.


-----------

DYGOS -- "PLASMA CONVERSION FACTORY"
A factory that must be taken/held at all costs. Just don't blow it up.



-----------

"BROKEN CITY SQUARE"
This deserted Imperial town is in ruins. Can you add souls to this ghost town?



-----------

"CHAOS FARM HOUSE"
A traitorous farmer's land harvesting for Chaos.



-----------

"FIELD OF TALIKK"
A recent volcanic eruption. The spoils for the victor!

Those are awesome! Some novel ideas and original use of terrain that I may just have to steal when I set up my own boards. I particularly like the farm one, and the way the board is halved between dirt and snow so well.

Boards #2 and 4 have been designed by my cousin, modified by me. Board #5 with using blood as magma was his idea.

The most popular choice seems to be "Center of Destruction"; I must've played 10 games or so on it.

I can see why it would be the most popular. It looks nicely balanced, it's not particular busy or complicated; it excels in its simplicity. The other are fantastic but they are more unique, whereas the first seems like something that would be set up for a normal, pick-up game.
