What size is the road?

Just wondering, what would be an alright size for a piece of road for 28mm gaming? Width 20cm (8") and length pretty much as I please?

It struck me yesterday as I did a solo ATZ game, that it'd be nice to have something representing roads on the board. Me being cheap and lazy am just going to cut the "right" size out of cardboard and lay it out, that'll do it for me.

Mmmm, I would do varying lengths ,12" ,10" ,8'' etc.that way you can run them up to where they need to be.If you have some asphalt roofing shingles ,you might try those as a low cost,work alternative to card board.I seen some photos that look mighty fine with minimum work.

I work to 6" (150mm) wide for 28mm, but 8" would be okay for wider roads.

I would do a few different lengths of road as Inky suggests. Maybe a T junction, a bend or three and cross roads would give you maximum flexibility.

Gotta have a "v" intersection for ramming attempts like at the beginning of Mad Max.
