Preparing futuristic terrain for a Mech game

While I’m busy preparing for a house move. Packing and getting the house ready for sale, mostly tackling those small tidy-up tasks I have ignored for years. I am still finding slots of time in between tasks for  wargaming related activities. Over the past couple of days, I’ve been working on some terrain for a futuristic Mech game. I recently marked a 4-inch grid on a brown felt mat using dots to mark the corners. Since I plan to use some One-Hour Wargames scenarios for my games, many of which feature rivers, I decided that for my futuristic game set on a mining planet, crevasses could replace the rivers. I found some black suede cloth in my wife’s material stash and cut it into strips to represent crevasses on the tabletop. 

The gaming mat prepared with a square grid, each corner is marked with a dot.

Some crevasses created with black cloth cut up.

I already had some foam hills made up. They have been borrowed from my 6mm WW2 Western Desert game. Details of how I made them here.

The next steps are to finalise the rules I've been playing around with and begin writing a narrative for the games and campaign I am planning.
