The Card Terrain was given in the factions decks for MERCS 1.0, and allowed you to quickly throw down some nice looking 2D terrain.
The PDF contains 15 pieces of card terrain, which represent various elements of scatter terrain you would find on the tabletop.
The Terrain Playmats look fantastic, and are designed to be printed out and used as a base for creating your MERCS game tables - and whether you use 2D or 3D terrain, they look fantastic.

I've always liked the way their mats looked. A buddy of mine printed them on vinyl for pretty cheap, and there are sites out there that can print them on mousepad mats for about the same amount you'd spend on mats that are already out there too. So far my favorite option for a mat has been the Terminator Genysis miniatures game mat, which is very close to 3x2 and is really cheap. I also got some HeroClix mats that work very well for MERCS, they already have zones marked out and color coded for terrain features and are 3x2 as well! I highly recommend the HeroClix mats if you plan on only utilizing 2D terrain, they're not expensive and are great for quick set ups. Plus if you're ever feeling up to it you can dress them up with 3D terrain, especially if you have any card terrain.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen Heroclix mats before, but I just checked them out and they look like a great option as well.
DeleteHave you got photos of any on your blog?
Unfortunately not at the moment, although you gave me a great idea for a post! I'll let you know when I have it done!
DeleteDo you still have these terrain files? The MegaCon site has finally gone down.
ReplyDeleteI am also curious if anyone still has these files.
ReplyDeleteI have the urban and snow. I'll load them up on Google drive and share the link
DeleteHere are the maps
