I'm looking for a manufacturer of dirt roads that will work well with both 15mm Cmd Decision WW2 figs (especially tanks) and 15mm Napoleonics and ACW. I have Terrain Guy dirt roads that are just too out-of-scale (3 inches wide) for my figures. Can someone point me in the right direction? Are there other alternatives besides felt?

I use these for both WWII and Napoleonics 15mm ( and they also have cobblestone )… They are great.. they are latex so they are flexible, ideal to go over hills and stuff…

PaperTerrain has inexpensive roads and pavement and you can trim them to just the right size :)

Monday Knight has some nice ones in two sizes. My buddy has a set that we've used for years.

You could make your own using this technique link very cheap and with 30 min work at most you can have several feet of roads. Works for all scales. Paper Terrain products are excellent too if you don't want the hassle of making your own.

Fernvale Specialty Scenics do nice rubber roads:

You can easily make your own roads in any scale you like, in any length or configuration, with a tube of brown, paintable latex caulk. You can buy tubes of this cheaply at any hardware store. Brief photo tutorial here:

Excellent web site 6mmACW. Lots of good tips there.

Great. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look.
