You expand your main Set (Urban or Outdoors) with a 3'x3' "Outskirts" set. This is an 9-tile set, which can form a 3' x 3' board. It's introduced with the idea of extending a 3'x3' Urban Set, to form bigger, more diverse gaming areas. You have to pre-order a Base Set before adding any more tiles and/or base sets in your order.

Outskirt Sets can be joined with your selected Urban Sets and act as outer suburbs of your settlement. These Sets combine the "Transition Tiles" along with existing tile designs from the Outdoors Pedion Modular Battlefields themes. They are NOT new Urban Battlefield themes, their purpose is to complement urban sets.

For your Outskirt Set choose:

Theme A - any of the standard Pedion Themes (Green Spring, Winter, Desert, Red Planet or Grey Wastes) with Road A - any of the standard Pedion Road Surfaces (Cobblestone, Dirt, Asphalt)

These 30cm x 30cm (1'x1') Tiles connect magnetically and can be configured to create or expand any Urban board. Each Tile is 30cm x 30cm (1' x 1') and 1cm deep; the majority are made from polystyrene and PVC, with Resin extra pieces.

The "Urban" themed side(s) of Transition Tiles can get all the extra upgrades normal Urban tiles do:

General Info on Pedion Urban Tiles

What this Tiles do?

• allow the gamer to quickly recreate street networks and the chaotic fabric of an urban environment in multiple configurations, different for each game.
• look beautiful and authentic but at the same time be practical for gaming.
• work with other Pedion Battlefields tiles.
• enable the placement of buildings, fences and scenic terrain pieces details from any manufacturer, without stealing the spotlight.
• adhere to all Pedion design parameters: full molecularity, simple connectivity, thin, lightweight, durable, easily stored.

Available in Three Themes

Trying to encompass the look and feel of every urban corner in every era and genre is impossible. Even more, Pedion tiles are intended for gaming, not for dioramas, however good they may look! So from all the options, we decided on three (3) generalised urban terrain Themes. We believe they will cover multiple periods and that the buildings and scenery placed on them will do the job of specialising the board's purpose, be it a historical or fantasy setting.

RUSTIC: The first theme will combine classic cobblestone roads with a 'dirt'/soil texture on non-paved areas, these spaces being reserved for buildings. The soil texture is enhanced with patches of green vegetation and there are extensive grass tufts on the road sides where the water usually collects. Intended to be neutral to suit any geographic location, the dirt colouration is completely new to our tiles.

The style works quite well on any Urban/suburban environment where the people may have used cobbles to pave some of their streets. It fits Rustic settlements, rural areas, villages, small Towns, even ancient cities if the residing civilization used stone on roads. By leaving open spaces in-between the houses, one can create smaller alleys and dirt paths branching away from the main cobblestone roads. There are no signs of a drainage system, so that the Style can be used in areas and eras where an underground one would not exist.

MEDIEVAL: Perhaps the most flexible theme, it can be used in many Wargame or RPG scenarios. This theme uses two different cobblestone patterns; a smaller recessed one for the roads and a larger embossed one for the building spaces. There is an irregularly shaped string of stones on roadsides to act as a primitive sidewalk and there are drainage grates implying the existence of basic sewers. There will be an option for each backer to include sewers and manholes or not. This theme can be used to represent the basis of multiple urban environments, especially medieval areas, fantasy settlements, ancient frozen citadels, and many European city centres up to the present day!

MODERN: For those gaming in the modern or futuristic era, we've designed a theme where the road surface is asphalt, the open areas are paved with large geometric stones, there are proper pedestrian sidewalks which protrude 1mm from road level and are 2.5cm (1") wide. There are drainage facilities, such as manhole covers. Road lines are possible but may limit the option of playing in different Scales. Wider road widths may be made available via stretch goals during the campaign.

The Four Basic Tile Designs

Each Urban Battlefields Set is comprised of a number of tiles in one of four (4) basic designs. These can be connected and arranged to create any layout you can think of. Apart from these Reward Set designs, more were made available through unlocking Stretch Goals.
