I finally got around to doing a little more improvement to the battle board.
I added a few farm fields to give some visual interests.
I am really undecided on the tree clusters. I tried to use some standard trees, but they ended up looking too large. At this scale even a small plastic tree would be 2-300 feet tall.

i think the tree clusters look fine for 6mm - you're really looking for more of an "aerial view", I'd think, and the effect that the woods have upon visibility, etc, has an important influence on the combat, or at least it did when we ran it using 28mm figures and Filed of Battle rules!

The clusters are functional, but visually they are not what I am looking for. I am trying to find something along the lines of short green cones roughly 5-8mm high to sprinkle through the area, as well as 2-3mm scale buildings for the villages. I like to go at least one scale smaller on terrain for platoon and regimental scaled games to get the feel right.
ReplyDeleteCan't help you too much with specifics of 6mm/3mm scenery, I'm afraid, but I'm sure there are others specializing in the smaller scales who can! I'll be interested to see what you come up with!
