Area Terrain
Area Terrain
Some terrain features consist of an area of terrain containing multiple terrain elements inside a boundary or footprint, like a forest, craters, ruined buildings, or piles of rubble. The individual elements and their locations inside the area terrain are not relevant, only the boundary.When determining the size of area terrain, imagine a Silhouette beginning at the bottom of the area terrain and extending upwards to the tallest point of the terrain. The volume of this Silhouette is all part of the area terrain, and blocks line of sight. While drawing line of sight to or from a miniature that is overlapping a piece of area terrain, ignore that piece of area terrain. A miniature is always obscured while it is overlapping a piece of area terrain. It is up to the players to determine the height, the boundaries, special rules, and the type of Cover that area terrain provides.
