2. Map Boards

2.1 Map Boards

Geomorphic map boards are used to depict the battlefields, and can be arranged in an endless variety of combinations. Each scenario (see 4. Scenarios) will indicate which map boards are used, and how they are positioned.

2.2 Hexes

The map boards display a numbered hex grid, and the hexes are used to regulate movement and combat. The half hexes around the board’s edge are playable (Exception: Ocean and river half hexes are impassable, and essentially not playable).

2.3 Terrain

Each hex on a map board contains a specific type of terrain or terrain feature. For instance, a hex may be open, a woods hex, a building hex, a stream hex, and so on. Some hexsides also contain terrain features, such as walls and hedges, that may affect movement and combat.
