So Devie and I were shopping in the mall today and visited the Board game store. We passed by the wall of board games and toys, then saw the collectible (and expensive) chess sets. We looked at the Asian themed sets:

some pretty cool transformers sets:

And some basic collectible sets:

Mary, (Devie) came up with the idea about a team fortress 2 set.. wouldn't that be amazing? I'd really love to have that in my house or in my room somewhere.
So I read up on the interwebs and really all I found was some other forums talking about the same idea and discussing which players would be which piece. for example; pawns could be... sentry's maybe.. or scouts. the heavy would always be the king while Medic would always be queen. I imagine the spy would be bishop.. hmm.. demoman or engi as rook. um maybe even sniper or soldier as knight.. who knows everyone could have their reasons.
So tell me what you guys think. Come up with what you guys imagine would be the ideal team fortress chess set. (Or something that's not even team fortress if you want)
I think it's very possible for valve to make this. they even started to make a Heavy figurine here:

(hella expensive though imo)

I have that. ;D

well, Uncle Mr.Franklin says its a great idea!
-
I think its a great idea, to add on-to it, the board should be extended and more pieces on the board that had different steps it can make, so you can have each class.
-
I think the soldier should be knight. I think his pose should be rocket jumping because the knight is the only piece that can go over other pieces.
I like the king and queen idea.
I think they should have the scout as pawns because they are smaller and more agile and always in the front of the battle.
I think the Rook should be the demoman, because he can travel quicker in game than the engi.
Bishop should be spy. BAM, there it is.
-
Soldier = Knight
Scout = Pawns
Demoman = Rook
Spy = Bishops
King = Heavy
Queen = Scouts Mom :O
King is heavy.
Fat and slow.
Ok replaced

nononononononon you guys are all mistaken
the rook (also known as castle) is the only non-human piece in the game, making the most obvious choice to be the sentry (for the purpous of the chess set, I'd recommend the lv.1 sentry)
The king should definitely be the heavy, but I think that perhaps to have it make more sense, said heavy should be carrying the intelligence B-)
As for the bishop, I'd definitely recommend the spy, as the bishop moves diagonally while most other pieces move straight.
The knight should definitely be the soldier, as the knight in chess is the only piece capable of jumping over another piece using it's 'L'-shaped movement.
Queen is kinda iffy. If you're going for the heavy/medic idea, then yeah it should be a medic. However, it should also be noted that the queen is the most powerful unit in the game, and this should also be taken into consideration.
The pawn is the expendable, frontline soldier. This can either be the scout or the pyro, I'm not sure. I think that perhaps the red team could have pyros and the blue team scouts, as to include all classes (except the sniper, engineer, and demoman, but perhaps you could swap those with other pieces for red/blue)
I think the final board could be something like 1 heavy, medic per side. 2 sentries per side. red side has 8 pyros, blue side has 8 scouts. red side has 2 demomen, blue side has 2 soldiers. Red side has 2 snipers, blue side has 2 spys (arch rivals >:D). This setup would leave out only the engineer, who is inadvertedly represented by his sentries.

lol no room for Demoman :(

Sounds like a plan, now who has the funding to make a tf2 set?

Hopefully Valve if the idea is popular enough. (past the forums of course) Like I said, they DID start with a heavy figurine but they could of course make a chess set i guess. just would be expensive
