Modular Terrain

 Earlier this year I took the plunge and backed Barrage Miniatures Kickstarter for modular terrain

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/smartscenery/modular-terrain-for-wargames

The pre coloured mats looked very interesting and I believed would be ideal for my French Indian War set up.

End of June box arrived and apart from checking contents it wasn’t until today have been to get a proper look. I still won’t have time to set up properly until after the 13th July when I’ve completed the physical transfer of stock and moulds to Caliver.

Within the Kickstarter I order the large river mat this is cloth backed and Carla at Battleground has demonstrated that you can just iron the creases out ( not tried that yet)

I like the colour !






The terrain pieces are various sizes and shapes, I bought a mix of green, sand and forest floor they’re made of what I think is thin latex rubber and are therefore extremely flexible.



You also get some smaller pieces that can serve as river banks, to create the board you simply overlap the pieces to get the desired effect, for hills Carla uses car litter in socks! I shall be using the Chinchilla sand in small bags.

I just threw a few pieces down on the dining table to give you an idea of the effect





I need a little practice but I like the effect and I think it has a lot of potential, I bought enough pieces to easily cover a 6x4.
Next week I shall try and set up a table.
