Roy, thanks for the comment - we seem to be doing parallel sorts of things.
The squares are 4" x  4" x  1/8" plywood squares that I buy in bulk and use for a variety of things.
My goal was to make quick and dirty terrain that could be used to reproduce all the OHW scenario maps on a 3' x 3' battle mat.
The tree and town squares are the same but the rounded corners are not as noticable because top mat is cut square.

Nice looking game DGuy.

While your talking about terrain do you use 6mm buildings for your village? are they Leven/Timecast ones?

Doing a bit of forward looking for ECW period once my current 1914 and pre-dread naval projects are finished (whenever that might be...done by back in so not very mobile at the moment  :( ).

Cheers
Peter

And again, thanks folks  :)

@Pierre
I have about 20 buildings that I use. These are all listed as 10mm* by their sellers/manufactures. As with 10mm figures there is some variance In size but with the buildings it is less noticeable to my eye.  I have all of the Pendraken EE medieval/fantasy buildings, A set of 5 timber and thatch buildings and a stone church from Old Glory, a few stone two story buildings (which may be the ones in the town depicted in this post) from Magister Militium (along with another timber and thatch house and a stone church), a few are indeed Timecast (from Central and Eastern Europe collection). I have now also gotten a few from Battlescale (which I learned about on this forum) but not painted up yet.

Basically if it's got timber and/or thatch and doesn't have clapboard or a frankly modern (post 1800)  look, I use it

Sorry about your back trouble, that can be truly miserable. Hope it remits soon.

*typically a scale ratio is given also. Pendraken lists the EE as 1:150 which seems to be the norm but have also seen some elsewhere  listed as 1:144 and 1:160. As I said I just mix them all together as I feel like.

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"
