The Hills Are Alive

I Decided to Take Some Pictures of the hills.  These Hills are Very Cost Effective & have allowed me to put together My Battle Field in many different ways.  I have used them to set up Boards Ranging From as Large as 6' x 10' using all the hills to create the Battle Field With Plenty of Cover Only Using 2 Small Building for the Enemy Forward Command Post that was the Objective for One Force which was located at a cross roads within the Light forest as I Still have about 1/2 my trees to base (50 to 60 Trees Left)  & Only used 6 of my Jungle Trees.  With a 4' x 4'  Board being the Smallest Battle Field that was packed so densely with trees & hills that Ranged Combat was Limited to a Maximum of Between 4" to 8" & All Troops Counted as in Cover Beyond 4".  The Objective for the Forces was to Find a Downed Recon Drone Recover the Data & then Destroy the drone preventing the enemy from Recovering the Information.  Each Force was Given 2 Specialist who could accomplish this once the Drone was Found.  The area to be Searched began 9" from the Table edge & every 6" x 6" Area had to be Searched & took Both Actions for a Unit to Search it. To Search the Squad Had to take a Skills Test with a Massive Negative.  Only 2 Squads per Side Could Search each Turn & an area could only be searched Once per Side.  Here are Picture of My Cheap Hills Warning This Post Is Extremely Pic Heavy.  Larger Pics Further in the post.

Can't See The Forest For The Trees

 I recently decided that I needed to get some terrain that was no in an urban setting for my personal collection my gaming group out in the East bay has lots of terrain that we use when we game over there.  But all the terrain I had made or purchased lately was urban or urban war zone. So I decided to purchase some trees & make some hill pieces so My friend I am teaching to Game here in the city & I could have some more variety in our Battle Field for our game.  These Picture are of the Trees that have come in from China & the few Hills That Have Been Finished.  At this Time I have 2 Huge Hill that Measure Approximately Length12" & A Width of  About 6", I have 2 Large Hill that measure in at around 8 1/2" by 6"

 &7 1/2" by 6".   2 Medium Hills Both are  Measuring in at around 6" by 5 3/4",  & 2 small 1 around 2 3/4" by 6" & 1  4 1/2" by 6.   Thats 8 Hills of various sizes Each one being a unique model no 2 are the Same A couple Tall Couple short& the rest in between.

The real cost of the terrain are the trees that I picked up on eBay. I purchased a total of the hundred and 43 trees ranging in height six centimeters all the way up to 12 cmwith the averages please being 6.5 cm,  9 cm and 10 cm. Additionally I purchased various types of trees to give my foresta variety of species and colorsthe picture only shows the first 45 or 50 of these trees. Since I took it I've received another 30 or so trees and am waiting for the rest to arrive. I mount the trees on standard poker chips as they came across a few hundred of them a very reasonable price. Most the trees are mount to to a base as mounting them individuallyndid not look convincing.  the picture is of the three-foot by 18 inch every of my workbench covered with eight Phillips and approximately 50 trees.  Half these pictures if not more of just the trees and hills. I added some figures is in the photo shoot to give a sense of scale.

After I received more of my trees all set up my skirmish table and take some pictures of the hills and trees with infantry and possibly vehicles for scale on one of my gaming mats so you will not see the cardboard that covers my workbench.in picture.
