I agree wholeheartedly.

No. The woods is allowed to be superimposed on one hill, but not two
simultaneously. It would have to stay 1 element from any other feature.



Which terrain features can placed right up to the tables edge thus
making it impassable or harder to certain troop types
Terrain features may touch the table edge.

+++The problem with felt is that it is hard to work with. Another
option is canvas, like canvas drop cloths.+++

I like carpeted stair treads - available cheap in packets at Home
Depot and such. Small pieces of carpet, easy to work with. A tight
thick carpet that figures stand on without moving or tipping, on a firm
rubber backing to lie flat, easily cuttable with heavy shears to
desired shapes, and comes in almost camouflage looking mottled greys,
greens and blues that look like scrubby areas and swamps. - Tom

Note that I did not state that preset terrain is unfair or worse,
but rather that it has its own flaws. A terrain placement system
such as that we have with Warrior also has some flaws, as you say
someone can roll terrible dice.

My responses was one designed to state that we have a pretty good
terrain placement system in Warrior that provides us with a lot of
choices.

I'd also certainly debate the point that it is 'easy' to use preset
terrain...from the standpoint that someone has to determine what it
is and place it 'properly', whatever that means.
