FUTURE HESCO MODS
Ideally, we would have a variety of Hesco bases in different designs and sand colours.
If anyone designs additional Hesco bases - or even has ideas for Hesco base design - and wants help turning them into a mod, please contact me or post here. Cross

My next idea for a "Hesco" design is to model a typical Afghani village compound. The layout would be similar to the current Hesco base, however, replace the tents inside the base with buildings.

The following depicts an Afghan compound using level 1 hills, then placing single stone buildings inside. One big problem is height, the building elevations are not higher than the level 1 hills so platoon members have an obstructed view of the surrounding space (non if the surrounding is level.) I would like a shp file similar to the Hesco base but depicting an Afghani compound similar to the pic below:

Most of the Afghan operations involve securing an Afghani compound for SBF or overwatch position, thus an Afghan scenario would benefit from Afghan compound and a Hesco base as well.

Is it possible to elevate the buildings higher than the level 1 hill?

All comments/suggestions appreciated.

Just a "quick stab" (mostly cutting and pasting existing stuff) - Would this work? Could / would be a replacement for a multi-hex factory as Cross' Hesco Base above.
This is the "Level 4 zoom" .bmp file (I dont have the ability to create the other zoom levels, sorry)



If someone can create the other zoom levels (Cross?) and add it to the mod I would be gratefull (perhaps as 29 or 31, alongside the hesco base?)

I like it! Maybe, a light infantry platoon sized area it appears to me. Really, the project is kinda stalled until we can raise the ground under the buildings.
