Tabletop terrain

[wargamorium]

Hello

Can you tell me please if there is a formula for choosing the tabletop terrain. Page 8 of the H&H Medieval rules points me to a dedicated support section on the website but I can find no reference there.

A simple and elegant mechanism would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,
the rules support section of the website contains hex grids which you can use to plan your layout using the terrain features available. At the club we often ask a non playing member to choose and layout terrain features from a limited selection. Players then dice for choice of table edge and first deployment.
With two players , one could selct and layout the terrain and the other have choice of table edge.

I have a selection of sketches of different terrain layouts on the grid paper which I will scan and upload as examples.

Create a table using playing card values which represent a type of terrain. Theoretically divide the surface into 4 or 6 sections and deal a card into each. For a road or river, each starts in the section where the card fell and runs to the opposite side.

Thank you both for your responses.

I can of course make up my own system but I just wondered if there was already a system in place which could be referred to to avoid disputes.

Thank you both for all your help.

I should of course have mentioned that DBA and Hordes of the Things (HOTT), among others, have systems for the selection and placing of terrain.

Hello Cameronian

I don't play either of those systems but my opponent with H&H is a DBA player so I am sure he will be able to advise me.

First game of H&H tomorrow night - should be fun.

Thanks for all your help.
