you may remember me mentioning that I won a prize draw at Broadside this year. Well the prize was a "Battle Systems" Shanty Building.
So this will be a mini review, I'm sure there are much better reviews out there but here's what I know. Firstly we'll do the positives starting with the quality. The pieces are printed on really thick card which is very sturdy and should stand up to a lot of punishment. The designs are nicely printed, to a high standard and suit the subject matter very well. There is quite a bit of variety and you can vary how you build your piece as there is no prescribed way - it literally is whatever you can imagine! Because it is flat packed and interchangeable it is very easy to store which is invaluable to most gamers for which storage is a premium.
Ok, negatives now - there are not enough clips! I could have added another story or extended the walls further but I ran out of clips too quickly. Yes you can buy them separately but that's not the point.

Another thing is that although it's meant to be all beat up, it's still very shiny.... It needs to be weathered so that it looks rough and ready.
Overall I give it a steady 7/10, which is good but I do like to make my own terrain, so it's more likely that I will carry on making my stuff. Still its a good product and bonus - it was free!
hope you enjoy
