Following up on last week’s popular video about hills in historical wargaming, this episode dives into a terrain feature that’s even more overlooked but just as important: negative elevation! From sunken roads and WW2 anti-tank ditches to Roman fieldworks and the sunken lane at Waterloo, we explore how these subtle but powerful features shaped real historical battles—and how they can transform your wargames too.
Whether you play Napoleonic wargames, American Civil War scenarios, or WW2 tabletop battles, this video is packed with ideas to bring more tactical depth and realism to your games. I’ll show you why ditches, gullies, quarries, and ravines deserve a place on your tabletop and how to easily model them using foam, scatter terrain, 3D prints and more.
If you're into miniature wargaming terrain building, realistic battlefields, and historical accuracy, this one’s for you. Let’s give the ground beneath our feet the attention it deserves!
