I would second the comment posted by Legionarius, but with a slight caveat at the hills that looked like "corn mush" and stood out from the general impression of the terrain.
The "That's why we play with miniatures instead of cardboard" comment seems rather dismissive of those who play boardgames, of any of the C&C games, or approach the hobby from a different angle.
My choice to employ something other than traditional miniatures does not make me less of a student of history, or less of a wargamer, I should hope.
Regardless of one's position on the graying of the hobby, I wonder if it would be to our benefit to more accepting and inclusive, rather than so particular?
I have often seen it in other blogs and discussion threads: "to each their own" and "horses for courses." Evidently, the principle is much easier than the practice or application.
Cheers,
Chris
