Use of 4 inch hexes

Since my wonderful wife procured the needed templates for hexes, I have cut some out in anticipation for our series of micro armor games.. 

In the raw. The first few would be stylized 'farms' circa FRG  in the 1980's.

 

 Coated in burnt umber, ready for next step....pva'd pan scrubs.

 

I cut up a couple of pan scrubbing pads to about 2 1/2 inch long strips about 1/4 inch wide,

soaked in 1:1 Elmers (PVA) to water solution;

Then rolled in 'LifeLike' brand grass mix;

More PVA, full strength to affix the hedges.

The 5 hexes needed for the scenario,

;

a 1/87 scale Leopard1 is much bigger than the 1/285th scale these hexes are meant  to portray.

Leopard among the 5 hexes. These hexes return soon as farm  plots.

Fast, not expensive nor hard to make, look ok in micro table top encounters. At game scale of 1 inch =50 meters. these represent 400 meter side to sidel
