Terrain and Buildings

Even a small battle needs some terrain.  Terrain creates obstacles, provides cover when shooting, and looks nice.  Serious wargamers might spend a lot of money on structures and terrain or invest hours in creation of artistic stuff.  But that is not necessary.  Remember, a terrain feature is supposed to be suggestive of a real thing but cannot be an exact replica in miniature.  Even a small building should not be exactly to scale or it will use up too much surface area on your table. Each structure needs a small footprint.

The dollar store has cheap foam board that can be cut with a hobby knife.  A building is just a box with a roof on it.  Anybody can make a box with some white glue.  If you watch for deals on ebay you can snag a bridge or whatever at low cost.  Trees should be purchased.  You can find them in a hobby store or online.  Get the kind with roots so you can glue them to a base.  One bag of trees should be more than sufficient.
