The Forest Tile

The concept of "Forest" tiles is really simple: dedicate an area on a tile (covering most of its surface) as forest/difficult terrain. This area is not only painted differently but will also be magnetically enabled, to add trees and other forest features on top. The main characteristics of the Forest tiles are:

• The players may place the 2 outline kinds of Forest tiles anywhere in a Pedion battlefield, or adjacent to each other, creating a larger forest; the "forest" borders are drawn in such a way so as to connect on one side!
• The "forest"area on each tile is defined by color and textures, and can be declared by the players to act as Forest, Difficult Terrain, or Cover Terrain, depending on their wargaming rules.
• The "forest" area DOES NOT PROTRUDE from the neighboring terrain, but seems to be a complete part of it. Therefore, miniatures and Unit bases do not have to "climb" when entering the forest, as is the case with most forest pieces on the market.
• The defined area is also magnetically enabled, either by metal "hard-points" or painted with magnetic primer. Thus, the player can place on top any kind of terrain feature (such as trees, bushes, logs, rocks etc) using magnetic bases.
• The tiles are designed this way in order to allow for a) aesthetic placement, b) different sizes of trees in case of smaller scales, and mainly c) enable the players to remove only the trees that are in the way of their units movement or placement, without either ruining the whole forest nor trying to fit the miniatures in the spaces among the trees.
• The magnetic connections are strong enough to protect the trees from scattering when the tile is moved accidentally. The metal hard-points allow for declaring the Forest tiles as other kinds of terrain, depending on your rules. For instance, by placing rock formations or bushes with magnetic bases, you can declare the tile as Cover terrain.
• The forest/badland tile can be purchased in three forms: just the tile itself (badlands), tile plus trees to create forests, or tile plus Rock formations.

The theme specific Trees available are: Regular for Green Spring, Snow-covered/bare for Winter, Palm trees for Desert.

The theme specific Rock Formations available are: Mesas for Desert, Red Planet and Grey Wastes, Regular for Green Spring, Snow-covered for Winter.

The borders of the forested area on the tiles are not randomly drawn but are digitized from real forests' borders near rural areas, as shown on satellite images. More on Forest Tiles and some videos here.
