Front Arc Join Forces With Deep-Cut For Kickstarter Terrain
September 29, 2015 by brennon
Front Arc are going to be hitting Kickstarter soon to bring out a new range of terrain for 15mm wargames and have teamed up with Deep-Cut Studios to add a mat to the campaign...
The map is set to recreate the scene of an attack on a city. The grassland towards the side of the mat is the outskirts of the city with the rest of it looking like a blasted ruin. It has a big town square and plenty of torn up streets.
The tank taps remind me of those maps from World of Tanks where you're fighting into a city from the countryside. It certainly looks like it would make a good defensive line.
In the midst of the city there is this blasted square where the tiles and cobbles have been smashed aside. This makes a great focal point for a Church or Townhall to sit around. As well as that you should check out the buildings Front Arc are working on...
It looks great and I like the amount of intricate detail they have added to the different structures. Once they have been given a lick of paint these are going to be awesome when combined with some scatter terrain.
What do you think of their mat design?

If I move from Battlegroup Kursk to the battle for Berlin then this would be perfect!
The first thing that came to mind was a Stalingrad slog :-).
the fountain in the square?
Scale?
It says 15mm.
Damn you 15mm, lol.
Why are they only 15mm? Surely they can be used for any size or scale
I think it’s the buildings for the kickstarter that are 15mm, the mat is specifically made for the KS to match the buildings. But yes apart from a few irregular sized things you could use it in multiple scales. The Czech hedgehogs there may be a little unusual in other scales but the cobbles you could get away with in a few different sizes without comment I’m sure.
I know of a few folks that use the Battlefront(?, FoW) roads, dirt and cobble, for 25/28mm and they look pretty good size and scale wise.
looks good.
