This captured my imagination, so I put together a multi-hex building and replaced one of the large factories with a basic infantry only - platoon sized - Hesco base; just to give you an idea of what you could do.
SCALE
The base is 20 Hescos x 15 Hescos
Hesco come in a variety of sizes. I used a Hesco size of 42”x 32” and scaled them according to SP AFVs of 6” to a pixel.
DEFENSE
The base is considered a ‘stone building’ so infantry would get roughly the correct protection. My understanding is that a single Hesco will stop rifle bullets, but RPG can get through 60” or almost the thickness of two Hesco. But RPG can go right over the top anyway.
COLOURS
This base is made with light sand colours, but perhaps a darker sand and red sand base would also have to be made if you were using them on other types of map.
ZOOMS
I only made a zoom 4 shp file for now. To complete this mod the other 5 zooms will have to be made. I may do it if I get time.
DAMAGE
I was concerned that heavy arty damage would look odd on a Hesco base, but I think it looks alright.
Here's the BMP icon (slightly improved from the screen shot version):
I'll attach the zoom 4 shape file, which will you can see in-game, but only at the second highest magnification (zoom).
I modded the icon 30 in the shape file.
