During the week I played a couple of WW2 North Africa games. I have terrain to represent hills, broken rocky terrain, and wadis, but lack any terrain for desert scrub. So this weekend I cut some sand coloured felt to fit the home made gridded hex tabletop cover. Then set about adding paint and glued some cut lichen around the edges so not to interfere with the placement of units in the hex.

I also tried another version to place pieces around the hex edges. Out of the version I preferred full hex of scrub version.

The finished desert scrub was soon put into action on the wargame tabletop.

Very witty, made me smile, and thank you.
DeleteBeautiful terrain hexes!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I only needed a few, but they add to the overall look.
DeleteVery effective.
ReplyDeleteAnd they were nice and easy to produce. Thank you.
DeleteLooks very nice: breaks up the monotone desert without losing the desertish look.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is a tricky one to keep that desert look and have terrain features.
DeleteVery effective and the full hex ones are certainly the best.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Agree, I am sticking with the full hex scrub.
