Default Re: Sighting Issue

The best way to look at it is as if it was a traditional 6 foot by 4 foot wargames table. If you were short of ready made wooden hill contours, we used to use beer mats sourced from the bar, sometimes.

One hill level is one beer mat, and 2 beer mats stacked is a 2 level hill.

Like the original SP1-3, we rarely used more than 3 levels of beer mat, or "proper" wooden cut-out hills made from plywood etc.

Our mods allow you to have 15 contour levels now, but there is really no way you could represent "real" terrain - and there is no need for it, given that it is a wargame (ie based on abstractions) and not a "simulation".
