I find accuracy increases exponentially when more rounds are placed down range.

That is pretty epic, Stitch! My head is already swimming with scenario ideas for that terrain piece. I like the unit spawning idea. You could also just use it to represent a hidden base that players need to assault from the sea...maybe a hidden pirate outpost or something.

Didn't think about it being the mission objective.  Give the structure hit points and a few defensive units and the mission is underway.

I'm looking into making a much longer island between 14- 18 inches long that would have an airfield and fuel depot.  I've already got the fuel tanks selected using some wooden plugs and enough fastmeche to make a bunch more pieces with.  I'm thinking along the lines of a small Iwo Jima.  The runway I want large enough to actually sit the small flier pieces on.

A flickering blue light could look like active welding repairs on a ship's hull.  Awesome concept and execution.

Very cool terrain and nice find with the kit.
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.
