D.R.O.P.S (Deployed Resupply on OPerationS) villages are a modular, pre fabricated and disposable solution to keeping large long range assault groups viable in the barren landscape of Snakefish North.

Palletised crates, fuel drums, ammunition, ration packs and spares are rolled directly off Valkyrie aircraft, while med-centres, water bowsers and command posts and even air defence systems are delivered in kit form either by advanced parties in light vehicles or even from the same Valkyrie carriers. These "villages" can and do spring up literally overnight, a long range group or column will arrive some hours later, leaving only empty crates, cans and other debris.

there is indeed water on Snakefish, but it is often below the surface. when a DROPS village needs large water stocks a filter and pump module is inserted in to the water table and a tower and tank structure is built above ground.

air defence emplacement

An air defence platform. these are a semi permanent installation and are only set up to protect the largest and most long term villages.

stores racking
shelving and racking carries consumable supplies

this is a real long term project to create a palletised and modular "base". it has little in game purpose but its been burning in me for a while. i plan to use railway models where suitaable and have already done so on the water tower. i plan to include the weapon rack i posted late last year as well as some other surprises.

i will keep u posted!

Nice! looking forward to seeing more progress on this, it great to see how all your project tie into your army's background in one way or another and add a rich narrative to your battles. A battle is no longer just another battle is a fight to repel whatever invading force has it's eye on Snakefish or to rout out traitors in your mist!
