Magnetic paper roads and foamboard contoured hills. Cohesive aesthetics?

How to make low cost flexible textured road sections from magnetic paper sheet and hills from foam board contours covered to match the board. Here I lay out some of my recent terrain to see how things look so far. I also discuss how the square table works with DBN rules which I am adapting for the American Revolution and French and Indian Wars. Link to blog post with a bit more detail napoleoni...

Great progress in just over 4 weeks! I just love painting these figures, sculpting style, robust castings and those unique PP faces. Single base units for small space gaming is the concept here, 2'6" x 2'6" vintage wooden folding card table covered with a fleece mat, think in terms of a slice of the main action.

      Hi Norm and thank you :) My move towards the smaller space wargame was initially inspired by your blog of course. I see a lot of great ideas on the Portable Wargame group site run by Bob Cordrey which has reinforced my view that you really do not need a big table to have an enjoyable game. Next step for me is improving the look of those fields and then sorting out lighting, I have some ideas!

But what I see here looks better imo so you don't have to test this method. :) The fleece material is thicker so it stans out a bit more and sometimes I have to straighten it up under a cutting mat if it was laying bent for longer period of time. But I only did small road and plan on doing more. I was thinking about using something like a rubber mat. An idea taken from channel called Black Magic Craft.
