A worked winter landscape: irregular field boundaries running across the table in dead brown scrub and frozen hedge, furrows still showing through the snow where the ground was turned before the freeze came. This is farmland in December — the kind of country the Ardennes, Alsace, Poland and the approaches to Budapest were all fought across.

Field boundaries do something no plain mat does. They give the table a structure before you've placed a single piece of terrain. Attacks have obvious axes. Squads have obvious bounds to work along. Defenders have obvious lines to hold. A blank white mat gives you a snowfield; this gives you ground somebody farmed, fenced, and then had to fight over.

Almost every rule set runs on true line of sight — and on a flat table that rule is inert. The ground contributes nothing, every sightline across the board is clean, and terrain gets reduced to scatter on an open floor.

Slide foam under a FeltPro mat and it drapes over it. So does a stack of books, a magazine, a rolled-up pair of socks. Now you get a real crest, real dead ground behind it, infantry genuinely on the reverse slope, a StuG genuinely hull down. Put the rise under a hedgerow and that boundary stops being a line on the mat and starts being a position.

• Snow-covered field system with hedgerows, boundaries and visible plough furrows, in cold whites and blue-greys against dead golden-brown scrub
• White ground is the best backdrop you can put under winter-camouflage, feldgrau, and Soviet brown — everything reads clearly and photographs beautifully
• Built for historical play at 15mm, 20mm and 28mm, where the field sizes make sense against squads and vehicles
• Drapes over risers for genuine elevation, then lies flat again when you're done
• Matte, non-reflective finish. No glare under overhead lights
• FeltPro™ felt — a lot lighter than neoprene, folds smaller, and the only mat that conforms to what's underneath it. Softer and more pliable, no rubber backing
