Title: Scatter Terrain for the French & Indian War (or wherever there are woods!)

As I have jumped big time into the French and Indian War, primarily because of Rebels and Patriots, while I'm painting the figures I am also working on some "scatter" terrain to give the ole tabletop the look of a large skirmish game.

I've just had a quick skip over to you blog and there are some really cool ideas made concrete.  8)

I guess many would be multi-purpose? Say for Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth, Robin Hood, Medieval Skirmish type stuff  :)

Great ideas for scatter.  There are lots of fiallen trees etc. in woods around here, so a good pointer.

Thanks! It's amazing how much low ground cover there is; something I noticed in Scouting and the Military.
