Hexes, Hexes everywhere... pt. VIII

The latest expansion of the snowflake Hexes left some gaps in the lay-out of my Hex terrain. Adding about twenty basic Hexes shouldn't have taken this long, but work and other commitments slowed progress to a mere crawl.

However, with the new Hexes ready to go, I can now fill in the gaps. The new additions consist of two roads with intersections, about twenty grass Hexes (the standard flat Hex), four new hill Hexes and six risers...

I decided to re-arrange most of the terrain set. I started with building the hilly part of the terrain. After that, with the river, roads, town and fields all in place, the gaps were filled in...


The edge of the board clearly shows the elevation of the large hill...


At this size, the board is already big enough for a decent battle. Features like the hills and river are what makes me so enthusiastic about this terrain, especially on this scale... It's very hard to achieve this with conventional terrain and scenery.

There are several other Hexes nearly finished, these all feature roads and/or buildings. After that, I really want to complete the second multi-Hex town module and the two bridges.
