looking for good trees, for a micro scale European theater. fullmetal |

Look on eBay for trees in the toy or model railroad cat. try searching by size or scale. Using " trees 38mm 50 pcs" will get the responses you are looking for. I have used these and they are easy to use and look very good on the table. Buy in quantity. |

link I use the 38/Pkg of 3/4" to 2" trees by Woodland Scenics. |

Those'll work. Cheaper still are pennies, and toothpicks painted gray, cut in half, and having their tips pushed into a small piece of Woodland Scenics' clump foliage. Glue the flat end to the penny's center surface (I'll leave it to you to decide heads or tails). Amazing how many of those you can crank out in short order, when working assembly-line fashion, and they're very inexpensive. |

At this scale, I think representing individual trees is perhaps less appropriate than representing forested areas of canopy coverage. You can make them pretty cheaply and they look great in micro-scale wargaming. 6mmacw.com/forests.html |

6mmacw like your idea but my question is how do or would you move the units in and around the trunks, or I'm I missing something in your explanation? fullmetal |

Fullmetal--sometimes, lazy players just move their troops on top of the forest canopy. But usually we just lift the woods up and put the minis underneath. The toothpicks are thin and you don't have to use many of them--they are just there to support the canopy. We've never found that they get in the way of troops moving around under the woods. |

Have a bunch of trees that I got from an ebay dealer. The 400pc packs appear to be gone , but there are still 200pc packs available.

For fullmetal2015 consider a set up like that done by Bruce Weigle at g-design.us/bruce He has a darker green area as the forest floor with a line of trees around the outer edge. It should be noted that his terrain is absolutely magnificent for 6mm but time consuming if you make boards the same size as his! However, the ideas translate well to modular terrain. |
