WWII "Fire and Movement" - Battalion Attack Game - A Tour of the Terrain

The basic clear battle board with coloured card marking the terrain features (see below):
  • Dark Green : Woods
  • Dark Brown : Farm Complex
  • Light Brown : Ridge Line

Basic card mounted on thick box cardboard and painted with the appropriate colours (see below):


Quantum jump to the terrain as it is landscaped (see below):



Yes, I have no shame, the children's Lego box is raided to represent some simple farm houses (see below): 


Trying to get the 3D perspective at a slight angle (see below):


A close-up on the "island" of randomly generated terrain (a farm complex hid amongst woods). The bottom right hex is looks an Achilles heel to the defender as it potentially is a hidden rout into the "island" (see below):


Across to the left of the "island" are the open 'killing fields', a albeit small protective copse of woods and two small ridges to the far distant horizon (see below):


The battle board from the defenders baseline perspective (see below):


A final look at the "farm complex" on the "island" (see below):


All that is missing is the troops and an opponent ;)
