Echani city battlefield

I could call this pixel-art, or compelation work. I'm not sure which.

I combine a number of useful set pieces adjusted and trimmed for my purposes from the resources provided on the website [link]. However, other than one floor tile and the furniture (chairs, beds, round tables, rifle crates) everything... every last pixel... was adjusted by hand from a tan base image sized exactly for fitting over four pages as printed off MS paint (the program I used for the pixel work). each brick and rock is custom done in the classic pixel look.

If you ever want to picture a daunting task, think about going through this image from top to bottom with over 78 different shades of tan and gray, as well as dozens of other colors.

now then, details.

The area shown is a city's edge on the Echani homeworld, where the edge is on the far north of the map. It includes a trench line there that was reinforced with rubble.

Behind the trench, in what was once a courtyard area, is a quick-built Republic base made on the fly as a cheap and ultimately disposable ops center. It even contains six central, and ten radial forcefield emitters which would allow the structure to be sectioned however necessary. Making separate rooms or prison cells or even acting as atmosphere shields in case of a gas grenade landing too close.

The rest of the area is the usual mix of abandoned homes and torn-up businesses with resources here and there left behind, but mostly cleared out by the owners or looters before the fighting ever reached and bombed out the area.

For GMing this, my idea was to have the characters (or troops, in a miniatures game) start out as the trench defenders or their relief, but get pushed back from the trench arbitrarily, and boxed into this area with perhaps one ally or a few blocks of space for an escape route, while bringing enemies in on all sides.

For instance: Bariss Offee and three clones get force into a retreat into the prefab shelter by a missile barrage from a Banking Clan droid, then invaded by battle droids, eventually forcing them to retreat through many of the buildings and defensible choke points because there is a large amount of enemy armor (that's tanks for the less military-oriented) to either side of the area and droids pouring in from the north with some enemy commando units of superior droids and mercs from the south. Perhaps adding an intel droid or injured comrade to ferry out with them as an added XP source.
