Will AndyMark have official field defenses to purchase?
Wondering if or when they will have 2016 field elements ready to purchase. Thank you.

Edit: added year.

Re: Will AndyMark have official field defenses to purchase?
AndyMark generally does not sell field elements, only game elements.

Given the size and weight of these, I'm guessing the cost of shipping and fabricating defenses is prohibitive.

Tanis is correct! In past years we have looked into trying to offer various field components, i.e. a team version of the pyramid in 2013. Due to the vast amount of field elements in the game this year we do not at this time plan to offer them.

I'm still waiting on my notification for availability of that pyramid.

Is it possible for you guys to offer the rough terrain. Out of all the defenses, (in my opinion) it is the hardest to be built by a team, and is also quite a bit harder to go across than some of the other defenses.

NOT hard to build if you use the Team wood-based plans... we finished that RT module--among others--an hour ago... you use a single wood 4x4 and slice with a chop saw...

The team version of the Rough Terrain is (in my opinion) harder to build than only the moat and the rock wall. It's just blocks cut from a 4x4 and screwed to plywood.
