If you want to use those sheets most efectively combine your technique with fliping your tracing paper on the other side. This way you can leave more of your polystyrene for another project.
For example when you were tracing third corner instead of tracig it in a place you chose you could have fliped paper on the other side and trace it on the oposite side to the one you chose. That way you would be left with a bigger chunk of a board left for a future project.
Super tip, as always. Thanks for sharing. I have a better method though - get really jammy and win a competition where someone much more gifted than you does it all for you ;-) I'm getting so excited about playing on that set now!
Highlen Terrain We can get those sheets here mate but only for expanded polystyrene, the extruded stuff I use is only in 2x4 sheets. I could probably get bigger but the store I use is only 5 minutes away matey
i have 3 german tanks 1 russian tank and 40 russian infantery ...i am thinking of something like:german tanks attack on open field ...russian infantry in trench and in back some ruin buildings and the russian tank
German tanks in a line formation attacking a russian city . russsian tank in the middle of the road as the 40 soldiers hide in the buildings waiting to ambush the incoming tanks
