Terrain
Terrain is a key element for games of WARMACHINE and HORDES and should be relatively balanced on a table while still presenting a choice for the player who wins the starting roll. For example, if one side of the board contains a forest, a hill, and a linear obstacle, the other side should contain terrain that provides concealment, elevation, and cover as well but may be positioned in a more advantageous defensive position.
As a general rule, an average table should contain five to seven pieces of terrain placed close enough to eliminate large
open areas without unduly constricting movement. The size of terrain pieces is also important. No piece should be insignificantly small or extremely large; terrain pieces that range from 4˝ to 7˝ in length and width are best.
The type, number, and placement of terrain pieces are up to the EO, but the following guidelines must be followed when setting up tables:
Do not place terrain within deployment zone areas. This does not apply to Advance Deployment areas.
All terrain pieces must be placed at least 3˝ away from other terrain pieces. This includes terrain pieces or wreck markers granted by Theme Force bonuses.
Do not place impassable terrain within zones, within 4˝ of flags, or within 2˝ of objectives when playing scenarios that use them. Note that all other terrain types can be placed within these areas.
EOs can choose whether to fully represent the zones presented in the scenario packet with templates or mark the corners of rectangular zones or the center point of circular zones. If center or corner markers are used, players can measure the zone whenever it is relevant to fulfilling scenario conditions. Any attempted abuse of this rule is grounds for disqualification. If an objective, flag, or zone is inadvertently moved, pause the clock and reset the zone marker’s position. If scenario scoring occurred while a marker was in an incorrect position the control points stand, even if this error is noticed after the fact.
