Testing the Terrain
NEW TERRAIN BOARD
Just a quick entry about a new terrain board we are testing out at the store.
The basic concept is an underlying board with removable adhesive on it. To this is stuck plain Styrofoam hills carved in whatever naturally irregular shape desired – the hills also have adhesive on them. Then the whole table is covered with an appropriately covered stretchy cloth, which is pushed down onto the adhesives contouring to every nook and cranny.
The board has worked well so far, minus some difficulties with the adhesives. It has proven durable, versatile and yet realistic in appearance. If the kinks can be worked out, we will probably due a couple more boards like this.
Here is a picture of the board in use for a Blitzkrieg Commander game:
There have been a couple of other posts on the blog with pictures of the board with different fabrics on it as well.
Until next time…
Cheers!
