i palyed a few games on the plastic maps and got tired of it, i wanted a 3d game board i took a 3x6 piece of plywood cut it in half and covered it with dark green felt, i decided on 4" hexagons, i cut out a 3 hex pattern out of cardstock, used a black sharpie, and traced the hex onto the felt, i even put a small dot in the center for LOS, i then painted roads, streams and ponds on the boards. i downloaded paper buildings and went to staples and had them colored copied on to cardstock. i then got some spackling compound, and cut out, sinlge hexs, double and triple hexs and put the spackling on the hexs creating small rock hills, and some small green hills, just high enoug to block LOS but still able to cross, the bigger hills are painted to look like rock formation, not crossable, i made tank busters out of firer place match sticks, painted them black and glued them in triangle shape.
the roads and streams are permanent, but the building, hills and rock formations are movable so that every game is different, and each side take turns placing them
