It has such a positive effect on the game it's unbelievable. I have had mixed results with WFB and Hail Caesar (which also involves shunting blocks of troops about). I find it narrows your tactical options by creating bottlenecks that favour elite troops rather than expanding the experience. I will admit though, if you get your balance of scenery right for you and your opponent it makes a good game look fantastic. I find people local to me have a downer on the WFB terrain rules too, they are not keen on the rivers of blood and stupidity forests and stuff.<br /><br />Setting the scene is an important part of playing the game though, that's undeniable.Warlord Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477146670213381976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537071612815653912.post-28970963808808316302013-05-20T18:35:18.135+01:002013-05-20T18:35:18.135+01:00Thank you Sindey, what a lovely chap you are!

Buildings, ruins and the like force players to adopt and develop tactics. An open field is just a roll off waiting to happen. That's where I'm cynical. Why not just pile up unboxed miniatures on either side and just push then against each other? ;-)Daveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338536132702316924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537071612815653912.post-66405903359049180262013-05-20T10:31:49.997+01:002013-05-20T10:31:49.997+01:00Davey, I totally agree with the terrain really mak...Davey, I totally agree with the terrain really making the table and the game to come to life. I think your two properties look fantastic! The tower and the chapel would grace any table Sir! Well done, and thanks for a great post!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537071612815653912.post-13603124321703078252013-05-20T01:42:16.068+01:002013-05-20T01:42:16.068+01:00A cynic might suppose that those who can't str...A cynic might suppose that those who can't stretch to buying hordes will at least be forced to buy terrain to clog up the battlefield. That cynic would be me. I agree that the GW terrain is ace and surely must be bought up in vast numbers before some corporate whizz realises it would still sell at twice the price.Warlord Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477146670213381976noreply@blogger.com
