Hi all, I'm seeking for a terrain generation system suitable for the Eastern Front of WWII, for we've been trying the generation system included in FOW ruleset and are quite unsatisfied with it -too vague and generalistic. It would be great if such a system provided for different feature tables depending on a predominant landscape (i. e. hilly areas, marshlands, built-up areas and so. Thanks! |

We use Google Earth. One of the guys in the campaign locates likely places for us and we print off the terrain. Granted this is modern terrain but . . . it works really well. mjc |

Or use the system from The Perfect Captiain's "Red Actions" campaign system… link |

Command Decision has a nice one, in my opinion, but you'd have to buy the rulebook to get it. |

Simple: It's the steppes. There is no terrain. Play on a pool table. |

We had a scenario and terrain generation system in Fire! Ogon 1 and Freur! back in the 1980s. 1000s of different scenarios could be generated. The scenario generation part did not get published in the Time Portal passages special issue. |

Mmmm… thanks for your help, guys. Although difficult to fit completely to the campaign we're running, some of the websites and ideas provided here will help me for sure. |
