Just near the end of the French campaign and panzers are racing to secure key terrain. This battle takes place in a valley hemmed in by mountainous terrain.

Grelber beat me to it. Some most impressive wooded terrain. |

No kidding! Looks great. Thanks for posting. |

Great terrain, are those all individual tiles? |
| mgk4167 | 20 Aug 2025 2:39 p.m. PST |
Korsun 0, yes they are. And, to answer your next question, yes, it takes a long time to create a board. I enjoy terrain creation as much as building military models, and I have tried to find a way that builds boards as close as possible to the actual terrain whilst being flexible enough to be reconfigurable. I'll leave it to you and others whether I have been successful! |

Eminently successful I'd say. Are they blocks or tiles if you don't mind me asking? |
| mgk4167 | 22 Aug 2025 4:12 p.m. PST |
Thanks for the interest. The blocks are individual blocks of balsa wood, balsa for lightness and so that I can stick pins into them for trees. These two photos give a better understanding of how the blocks allow realistic contours to be created.

very interesting and looks like a heck of a lot of work to make! But it really gives a good representation of terrain undulations and the like.
Impressive. |
