Micro Brick Battle is awesome! I have always enjoyed the micro scale (10230 Mini Modulars is one of my favorite kits) and I really enjoy tabletop gaming. The one thing that I have felt was missing was a full lego playing surface. I like the house, terrain block, and bridge plans on the site, but I wanted to take it further, so I started experimenting and just finished making this gameboard.

So what is this? It is a fully modular 4 by 5 baseplate (32x32) gameboard that uses the Modular integrated Landscaping System (MILS) as a guide to design and build the playing surface. While it might be a little expensive per module for the parts (about $20 for a basic "grass" only module, more for the more complicated modules like the bridge over the river), it can be re-configured relatively quickly to change the terrain for each game. Additionally, it can be combined with friend's modules when you get together for an in person game.

So far I have built the following modules:
- 8 basic grass modules
- 4 road modules
- 3 river modules
- 1 road/bridge over river module
- 1 house module (I used the Brickmania Bricksmith Shop for this)
- 1 bomb crater module
- 1 cliff face module
- 1 tank barrier module (I was going for something like an asparagus barrier or Rommelspargel)
Additionally, I have an assortment of small trees, large trees, brown czech hedgehogs, and dark grey czech hedgehogs that can be placed as desired throughout the board.

Now that I have the basic board, I have been thinking about the next things the build. I think the first thing will be to build some houses that can be randomly placed or even a small village. I have also been thinking about making a couple of gun emplacements. What do you think, what is missing?
Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or if you want a closer picture of a specific part of the board.
