review by Dick Bryant
Just when you think everything has been done in commercial terrain, Geo-Hex pushes the state of the art another step. These are 12"x10" preprinted velour mats that have been flocked to look like barren, growing and harvested fields or forest floors. These can be cut apart or shaped as wanted and are of the proper "weight" to lie close to the contour of your Geo-Hex contours (or anyone else's contours, come to that). $5.95$6.95 each. Geo-Hex has also come out with a 4'x6' felt mat printed in color to look like water. It is ideal for placing underGeo-Hex to delineate lakes, rivers, water edge, etc. Of course it can be used with any terrain system for a beautiful effect. $30-$36 per sheet. If you use water in your games you should have some of this. The forest floor is something I have been trying to duplicate for years. More Reviews
