Editing Battle Masters (section)

==Terrain==
[[File:Battlemasters-castle.jpg|thumb|Tower from battlemasters board game]]

The battle mat contains a river, which cannot be crossed except at fords. Other terrain on the mat has no special game effect.

Several terrain features are added to the board at the start of the round. One player places the terrain features, and the other may decide which side of the battle mat to deploy his units on. The layout in pre-determined campaign maps is instead fixed.

Four hedges are placed on edges between two hexes, and prevent movement across them. Ford tiles may be placed on rivers to allow passage. Marsh tiles prevent movement entirely. Ditch tiles have four fortified sides which prevent movement, and attacks across the fortified sides give the defender +1 Combat die and the attacker -1 Combat die.

A large plastic Tower grants +1 Combat die to any unit inside it, and anyone attacking a unit in the Tower does so at -1 Combat die. Cavalry may not enter the Tower, and it can be destroyed by three Explosion hits from the Mighty Cannon.
