My main concern was to design a board that the contours were not too extreme on, so they could be ignored and played as flat if the players wished. Owen It’s easier than it looks.

It's really not that hard to do. It plays well from any side when we decide that the river, small hill and pond don't offer 'Cover'. That way it's pretty much open ground. If 'Cover' is incorporated then the side with the river has a distinct advantage as they can advance up to the bank and have a nice defensible position. I have a load of sandbag defensive terrain I can put on the other side of the board to offset that advantage! Owen Glad you like it. It’s really not that hard to do.

I really like how it plays on any side. You've inspired me to start making my gaming board again. I've had materials for it for over a year but haven't had the motivation.
