This release expands our terrain range with an assortment of pieces suitable for European battlefields – a church, houses, ruins and more will add to any game.
As always, here’s a little info on the various new items…..
Church
The centre of many rural communities, the church is often a sanctuary and place of reflection for the population during times of trouble and invasion. However, sometimes, such as at Oradour-sur-Glane, they are the site of bloodshed and massacre by invading forces.
Pantile cottages
Low, stucco rendered cottages with pantile roofs are a common feature in Southern Europe, particularly Italy, Sicily and Southern France. Spread out among the fields or grouped together in a small village, they were the site of many a firefight during WWII.
Stone cottages and houses
Stone cottages, either rendered or plain, with a variety of thatch, slate and shingle roofs are probably one of the most rural building types across Europe. From Normandy, to Italy, to Poland, small villages and settlements of buildings such as these are dotted across the landscape. Often comprising no more than a few houses, these were frequently important objectives as they may control access to a bridge, crossroads or even just because they made a good base of operations.
Timber house and barn
Timber buildings have long been a staple of rural life – quick and easy to erect, simple to repair and often not requiring additional materials compared to more sturdy structures, they are a staple of poorer communities. While present in Western Europe, they are more common in Eastern Europe and on the Eastern Front.
Ruins and rubble
All too often, the action of war (both enemy and friendly) leads to buildings and settlements left as nothing but ruins and rubble.
This model comprises 4 corner pieces of a ruined rendered brick building, along with 7 pieces of brick rubble including household items.
Livestock
An ever present aspect of rural life is livestock. Unfortunately during conflict many of these are caught in the crossfire and add to general debris of war left behind.
This set consists of 4 cows – 1 standing, 1 lying down and 2 dead.
