Terrain feature
Terrain pieces are mostly for the construction of model railway -Landscapes and Tabletop used -Spielfeldern. These are parts that can be used to recreate real landscapes in miniature format.
Terrain parts can represent many things such as hills, grass (mats; grains), cliffs, rocks, trees, houses, rivers, barricades, walls, hedges, buildings, etc. They are not only used to beautify the game board, but can also provide cover for miniature units in the tabletop when replaying wars, influence model movements (e.g. insurmountable areas) or have other special properties.
The assembling of the terrain and the playing card is left to the builder himself. Most of the time the parts are made from different materials, but there are also finished parts from tabletop manufacturers and model builders that can be built in. There is the possibility of creating various parts of the terrain in a mobile way, i. This means that they can be moved on the game board and, in contrast to glued parts of the landscape, individual maps can be created for each game.
Many tabletop players let their own creativity run free and create mountains and hills from polystyrene , rocks and cliffs from tree bark , cornfields from floor mats, and detailed buildings from empty packaging or other materials with the help of paint and modeling clay.
