So I'm working on a new project and I'm unsure of what I can use for the terrain in terms of colors and texturing. Here is how the terrain is described: "The terrain is rolling and treeless and is covered with grass outcrops, areas of thick gorse and peat bogs making effective camouflage and concealment extremely difficult. From May to August, the southern hemisphere winter, the ground is sodden and frequently covered with brackish water, causing movement to be slow and exhausting, especially at night. The isthmus has two settlements, both on the eastern coastal edge.The islands have a cold, damp climate and light, drizzly rains occur two out of every three days with continuous winds" Here are some reference pictures: So anything lower than the surface such as trenches and bogs, I'll be using reddish brown for. But the surface is whats killing me. I cant find anyone who can agree on what colors to use..... I get everything from light brown and tan to dark green. Looking through Lego colors to try and find a match has been hell from a texturing point of view as well. Any help is greatly appreciated and reference pictures to similar style builds are even better.

No, but you didn't secure your photo account so the map leaked to us early and we used it in our planning.

Just want to add that since I've now had time to really look over everyone's builds, you guys have done a great job. Win or Lose, but sides have really stepped up their games with their builds. Perhaps the longer time frame to complete the campaigns is what helped? Anyway, great job all around.

A note for everyone who participated in this campaign- We have discussed a percentage based scoring system for determining the winning side of each campaign due to the last 3 campaigns fluctuations in numbers of participants. As long as the side with lesser builds has 2/3 of the number of builds as the higher side, we will take the average score for each side and that will provide us with the winner. This was something that we were working on after the last campaign and are trying out this time to see how it goes. Please keep in mind (And I say this due to several PMs we have received), we are here to advance ourselves as builders and have a good time. Winning or Losing, you should be enjoying the game. Please do not make earning points and winning your primary concern for participating.

Can I borrow that for the Falklands build I'm working on? haha Nice.

Very Nice for a first build with us. I'm unsure if I had the chance to officially welcome you prior, but Welcome!

Ah no worries. If anything, you have the nicer containers anyway as yours are truly brick built. Nicely done!

Entries Closed unless special arrangements were made prior.

A little less than 24 hours to go!

Is that a friends head?

Not the Capital. We wouldn't wanna destroy that...

Filace Ambassador to the Brick of Nations, Curtis Larkin "This is a sad day when the nations of this world are so unwilling to help their fellow man. May God be with the people of Carrefour as the world sits back and watches it tear itself apart from within"

Filace Ambassador to the Brick of Nations, Curtis Larkin "The people of Carrefour are stuck suffering due to their own alliance's aggression. Countries and borders mean nothing when trying to help our fellow man. Filace is calling for all able and willing to nations to organize and work on a humanitarian relief effort for those effected by this unfortunate and avoidable tragedy in the harbor. We ask for (3) Motions for resolution. "

HahahahahH

I laughed at this one hard hahaha nice

Cheat codes for the actual euro players....

F4 is Briolui Territory

This is one large city and I suppose it is only fair for the players from that country to name it.

Campaign 4 Fighting for the City Map Name: Studica Grid: F4 Time: 0630 Hours After narrowly stopping the COAC Advance, RON forces are now trying to push the COAC back out of their territory. COAC Forces have dug in rather than completely withdrawing out of the city. Both sides have hunkered down in tight Close Quarters Combat with each side fighting from building to building engaging in small skirmishes to try and maintain control of a city block. And we're back after a much needed break so that no one would get worn out. Thanks for sticking around and we hope you enjoy this round. More to come! Campaign Guidelines Both sides are to show their forces engaging in Close Quarters Combat in a city. (Failure to do this will result in a loss of points) The goal for both sides here is to show coordination with each other across your builds. Stories should intertwine and share details. Be creative. This will be a big part of your score. Nations that currently have not declared war will need to do so before submitting combat builds or find other creative ways to build something to fit in with the guidelines. All builds must be posted as a new topic in the “Great Brick War” subforum, the title prefixed by, "(GBW- CP4)" followed by the Country you’re representing, and then your MOC’s Title. Example "(GBW- CP4) Filace - Fueling up the Jets") Neither side should show their forces definitively destroying the opposition. Showing successes is okay, but not total domination. The winners of the campaign will be decided based on the points awarded from judging. This means if your team doesn't score well, it's possible for your forces to be beaten back. MINIMUM SIZE BUILD IS 32 X 32 All LDD Builds must be labeled- Example: (GBW- CP4) Country - Title of build (LDD) All builds must be new MOC’s and not prior builds. Photo Editing is to be kept to a minimum with only real edits of lighting and color correction. No special effects. Players may crop one picture of their MOC onto a background picture to help with their landscape if they’d like. Pictures cannot be bigger than 800x600 Players may post a link to an offsite host such as Flickr where Higher Res pics are located. Be cool and share your photos in the GBW Flickr Group! Please refer to the General Rules Topic for limitations based on your Point Level. Upon completion, players must also post a link to their build in the AAR Thread as well letting the judges know that it is eligible for scoring. Campaign Duration 9/20/17 - 10/29/17 All builds will not be finalized until the closing date for the campaign. Players can edit their posts up until that point. As long as it is 10/29/17 somewhere in the world, you can submit. Use this as a deadline https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/baker-island The Outcome If the COAC wins, they will maintain their foothold into the next campaign. If the RON wins they will be assaulting into COAC territory in the next round. All players who participate will be awarded the points they earn for each build. The winning team will earn a special tag. Players can have only (1) GBW Tag in their profile at a time. If you would like this tag, please let a GBW Staff Member know.

Our roster is currently open and available. Please refer to the World Map and sign up threads to see which countries are available and where you would like to sign up. Our next campaign is just about ready for launch so now is a good time to sign up and get yourself locked in for it.

I've been away dealing with some personal matters... But the good news is the staff has been working feverishly in my absence on the next campaign and it is going to be released very soon. We apologize for the delay, but we also thought it would be best to slow down a little bit so nobody got burned out.

You can only have (1) GBW Tag at a time unfortunately. It's outside of our control. Sorry.

Just wanted to point some thing out. The above, though lenient and allowing for a lot of creativity, are still guidelines. Some of you did not follow this and it will be reflected in your scores as we get closer to finishing scoring. Please pay attention to the guidelines moving forward as we are going to be getting harder on scoring as we progress. Those of you who did these things, did so beautifully. Keep up the hard work!

Nice! I would have left the missile in there to ruin the party
