I need some inspiration, down here on the farm...

Oh, Hi again, Table Top Enthusiasts.

Here is another “scene” or “location” for you to play with: “Down On The Farm” (individual hex tiles under).





















This scene was intended for a little "freak form" scenario meant to be an introduction to both the "setting" and the "game rules" I wanted to make. Here is the idea i was playing around with in my head when drawing this scene:

"Who Shot the Sheriff?"
The Workers Union stirred things up down on the farm, the Workers are angry and the production came to a stop. 
The Farmer allied with a band of local Bandits to "get rid of" the Union.  
The Punkertons sent a couple of agents to monitor the escalating situation.
The Sheriff and the Deputy tried to intercede between the angry fractions when he is shot dead when crossing the field in DOTF #02.
All the fractions could have fired the shot, and they all suspect each other.
When a team of Hex Investigators arrive to make inquiries, all fractions have to try to prove that they are innocent.

Each player is given one of the fractions and have to make a defense where they try to prove, using the game rules (skill level, weapon range, line of sight, order of initiative etc..) why they could not be the killers. 

DOTF #05 is the first of the hex tiles where I explored elevation, and this was a difficult challenge because of the perspective which made the apple trees constantly overlap the elevation lines. The original black and white line art seemed really chaotic, but after applying color the image became easier to read. 

Anyways, here is the individual hexes, enjoy:
