Have battlefield visits helped you better understand history and improve your tabletop wargaming? In this video, I revisit the Bosworth Battlefield and discover an unexpected problem with interpreting historical terrain: plants grow! From hidden marshland and obscured hills to changing landscapes and emotional connections with historical sites, this hobby discussion explores the value and limitations of walking battlefields as a historical wargamer. I discuss how terrain, topography, archaeology, seasonal changes and battlefield tourism can influence our understanding of famous battles, and how visiting real locations can inspire better tabletop terrain, scenarios and miniature wargaming tables. Whether you enjoy historical tabletop gaming, miniature painting, military history or historical research, this is a fascinating look at understanding the lay of the land beyond the pages of a history book.
