Haydee,

I can tell you what we have done in the past and we repeated this year.  We screwed a length of 2X4 that is a little wider then the model to the outside of the north wall of our table with the top edge and the bottom edge exactly even with our north wall top and bottom.  Then we screwed a piece of wood to bottom of this piece of 2X4 that was big enough to place the feet of the mission model to sit on.  This simulates having two tables pushed together with their north walls touching.  The model can be dual locked then to your mat and to the piece of wood that would be the surface of the table where that other mat would sit.  I worry that foam board would not be sturdy enough.  Use screws to attach pieces together.  When you are done take the screws out and there is not much to see without the need to sand.

I hope you can picture what I am talking about.

I apologize if this has come up before in discussion.
 
I'm wondering how people have gone about installing a support platform and a piece of 2x3 to support the ball game mission.
I'm not sure about drilling a piece of wood into the underside of our table so I was thinking of getting a piece of rigid foam board and super gluing it to the underside of the table to simulate the other table surface. That way it can be unstuck and sanded down next year.
I was also thinking of velcro-ing the piece of 2x3 (or whatever size the table wall beams are) to the table wall. It may leave a slight gap due to the thickness of the velcro but as long as the mission straddles both walls fine, it shouldn't make any difference.
 
Wondering if anyone thinks there's anything wrong with this plan.
 
Thank you,
 
Haydee
