I may be (probably am) dense, put where are the terrain placement guidelines in Team Yankee? Like how many pieces and who places where first, etc. I may just be missing them. Does FoW have these? |

Anything in the rule book? Someone that picked this up and starts to play other than the scenarios would make it look like you play on an empty table |

The scenarios have table maps to guide you with terrain. |

Germany has rigid zoning laws. Put all the houses together on the table. That would be my advice. |

FoW and TY don't go that route. You place you're own terrain as wanted or needed for the scenario |

So, I'm not blind. No rules for terrain in the combat missions. I guess it falls back on set up table and then dice for choice. If this is an entry game I've missed where they say anything about how to set the table |

Wouldn't it depend on what terrain was where the battle is being fought? How would they have rules for that? |

No terrain for the missions, but the scenarios do have the table laid out. They have a pretty extensive picture guide to terrain in the book, but no terrain generator (which is what I think you're asking about? ) |

I was hoping there were some form of guidelines. Lots of pictures don't really tell how to set it up. And a "purist" could say, while playing combat missions, "the rules don't say there is any terrain". Even some guidelines on how large or many terrain templates should be. |

Some of the FoW book expansions cover terrain & table setups for a given theater/campaign coverd by that book. They are not "rules" though. Just suggested guidlnes. As Team Yankee expands, you might see something similar. |

There used to be some random terrain "rules" in the version 2 FoW book but they were rather rubbish.
Most people just get some terrain and make a table that looks pretty then play.
At tournaments terrain is preset and you are allocated to tables at random. |

Thanks all. I just wanted be sure I wasn't missing something obvious. |

Use google maps to pick a part of Europe to battle over and then build the terrain accordingly. |
