"Kit-bashing" originally comes from movie production, where various science-fiction shows would use pieces from several commercial model kits to make new spaceships and the like. I use the term to indicate where I take an established boardgame system, any convenient order of battle I can find, and a hastily-drawn map (or, in this case, a game map that consists of hexagons superimposed over a digital image of the terrain). Presto! Instant wargame. It may not be playable, but that's what development work is for.

From movie production? No joke?
And here I had WWI British or my friend Paddy in mind!
Thanks for the link, Romulus!
