By choosing this add-on, you can add any number of extra of type "Across Straight Road" Transition Tiles to your Base Urban Set. Their purpose is to combine two different textures and/or Urban Themes on the same tile, so that they can join differently themed tiles.

Please check the tile "Layout" diagram on the first image in this product's gallery, so that you make sure you choose the same Urban Theme as the one in your main Set. You have to pre-order a Base Set before adding any more tiles and/or base sets in your order.

Transition tiles can be used in a variety of purposes - some of them are:

• You can join together two differently themed Urban Sets, so that you can ensure a smooth transition between them!
• You can join your new Urban Themed set with our standard Pedion Modular Battlefields tiles. You may have a board already, to be waiting for one, or thinking of getting one; now you can combine it with any Urban set you get.
• You can extend your Urban Set with slightly differently themed tiles, thus giving it the look of having some town outskirts or some open grass areas.
• The transition tile type "Open Ground" can be useful even to people who are not going to get Urban Sets but have a standard Pedion Set already. It can be used to join two differently themed sets, e.g. Green Spring with Desert.

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:

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.
