Terrains

In Memoir '44, battles are fought over a 9 by 13 hexes battlefield featuring country-side or beach landing terrain, depending on the face of the board map in play.

An additional 44 double-sided terrain hexes are available to further customize the battlefield, ensuring greater geographical accuracy and a variety of tactical challenges.

Each terrain has its own summary card for in-play reference;

Each terrain is also further detailed in the rules' appendix, with lavishly illustrated examples;

And, to simplify set-up, each scenario comes with its own set-up bar, indicating the number and type of terrain hexes needed for this battle, and the order in which to lay them down on the board map. This way you don't have to search much for the right piece, despite the double-sided nature of the terrain hexes.

Obstacles

The life of a soldier would be too simple (or dangerous, depending on which side you sit on!) without a variety of obstacles to attack, run from or take cover under!

Some of them - sandbags, rolls of barbed wires, hedgehogs - have their own 3D miniatures, while other constructions - bunkers, bridges - come on illustrated tiles, but all contribute greatly to the variety and historical accuracy of scenarios.

As for terrains, obstacles have their own summary cards as well.
