Looking to avoid having to make a game board with a ravine type element built in for gaming. Anyone make such a thing? I would be using 15mm figures mostly but other sizes are in my collection (30mm, 25mm, 6mm, even 3mm micro-armor) so if there is something suitable for sizes other than 15mm feel free to mention sources, please. |

I like the old TSATF method of a ring of cat litter or gravel. |

Tiering layers of different colored felt works well. Get a real dark brown (or whatever color) for the lowest level. Layer on a lighter brown for the next, and still lighter for the next. Kind of like a color coded topographic contour map. Three or four layers thick of felt is not too bad, so it is close to being a flat map. |

You can also grab some wooden ceiling molding, it's what I'm planning to do for low ridgelines, wadis, and related. say, 1"x2" with a simple angle. 1" is deep enough to hide most 15mm vehicles, even Shermans or Grants. |

Stacked cork tiles perhaps? |
