Company of Heroes Board Game: alternative use for the bits and bods

My Company of Heroes Board Game finally arrived, after supporting it on Kickstarter. I never thought that I will have to wait around 2 years for it, but the COVID, the problem in Suez and other supply problems led it to their. Anyway the boxes and what are inside them are incredible and high quality.

Terrain: Italian Vineyards (BB116, Battlefront)

In the pause of the fights you just lay down in the shadows of the vineyards, reach out to eat some grapes, enjoy the sour and sweet taste and think about getting some local wines too. Can you imagine anything better? Well, if you want to recreate this feeling on your table, then Battlefront can

DIY Terrain: Cobblestone road sections

An iconic and essential part of a battlefield (except some cases) is the road system. Whether it is the German Autobahn with long, double lined sections and overpasses in some WW3 scenarios, or some muddy roads where the Vikings can approach the Saxon village, you need to indicate them somehow on your table. There are

DIY Terrain: Barbed wire

My first Do It Yourself terrain post will be about an effective obstacle against infantry (and cavalry): the barbed wire.
