Random Events & Hidden Terrain Cards

The video for 23 June 2023 describes Event Cards and how they can be used in both wargame & RPG campaigns. I have written about a similar topic here, The Map Is Not the Campaign

Event and Terrain Cards for Wargame Campaigns

Terrain Cards

The Terrain Cards represent my own favorite part of wargaming, scouting and reconnaissance. Looking at a hill or group of trees is one thing. Being right up on it is another.

From a distance, it may seem that a hill is a great position for a cannon, or that a small wood is a place to hide a unit of skirmishers. Until you get right in there you won’t know for sure.

Are those trees close enough together for cover? Is there underbrush that could hamper your movement? You will have to send some scouts to check it out!
