I won't embarrass any other survivors by describing what passed for decent terrain in darkest Indiana in the late 1960's, but I will note that while Gilder's terrain was a beautiful as his figures, I'm not sure it was always as functional as his figures. The more realistic the gradual slope of the hill, for instance, the more game time will be spent in debates about terrain penalties. I don't use gridded terrain above 2mm, but I do try to make it very clear where the hill, the woods or the built up area begins and ends. I'm not sure everyone did of does. |

My Airfix ACW armies have gone, my Merit trees have gone, my hardboard game board has gone, my plasticine houses have gone… but I still have my white Airfix model railway fences! Just like the ones in the photo… |
