Battlefield Building Tips

Ready to make a stunning tabletop for your 6mm game? We've all played wargames on kitchen tables, haphazardly covered with a roll of green felt. Roads are represented with jagged strips of brown felt, rivers with an offensive shade of blue. But in miniature wargaming, creating a great battlefield is as important as the miniatures themselves. That's what the hobby is all about!

This page offers ideas and tutorials for how you can design a tabletop like Pea Ridge, pictured to the right. You may be surprised to learn how easy it can be to create incredible 6mm scenery on a budget, using only basic craft materials.
