rocketman Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 From what I can see, churches are pretty much in the same style as in BN, right? The pictures I have seen so far of churces in Belgium/Ardennes is that they differ in style a lot from the Normandy look. So a question for our Belgian (or tourist) members - do you agree that it is so IRL? Ought churces be changed to fit the style better? I find the small church to look particularly out of place, at least if I compare with the one in Ouren/Peterskirche for which area I'm making a scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I can't speak for the Ardenne region. But in Brabant, Limburg, and Gelderland all of which feature in either MG or FB a large number of churches are constructed from red brick, and differ greatly in design from Norman churches. But that would have meant even more work for BFC. Also, I would have liked to have seen Belgian, Dutch and German post boxes rather than the "RF Postes" that we had in CMBN, but it's not a game breaker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Léopold Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The Belgian churches are identical to the French churches. My family is native of Belgian Ardennes. Here is a little of documentation http://www.batarden.be/site/fr/histoire-de-la-bataille-des-ardennes/10.html http://www.bastognewarmuseum.be/ I preferred the musé of Bastogne before its renovation, there are fewer models now. http://www.december44.com/fr/histoire.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Afaik the building style of churches has a lot to do with the period they were build. The Churches in CMBN/MG/FB look appropriate for Dutch, imo. Although I'm not expert on it, I think many churches are built in the 'gothic' style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
