SS is, of course, a terrain type for arid terrains. To be honest, I’m not sure what it exactly is, let alone how it should look.

Up to now, I’ve used a naff piece of felt but feel I need to make several examples in a pleasant & suitable manner.

The terrain type BTW is “meat & sandwiches” for Medium & Light Infantry, difficult to varying degrees to all other troop types.

So: how do you show it? suggestions & links entertained.

I am working on trying to use low sand dunes to represent soft sand. Have not been really happy with the the way the few I have done have turned out but will try again.

I like the way this guy on Fanaticus did his and they look really easy but have yet to get one to turn out close to his.

They would do nicely.

He's dribbled something on the base or used cardboard cut-outs. I'll give it a go.

Thanks for the link.
