Mosaic Made with Stars & Crosses Terrain Hexes

I whipped up this mosaic to give you an example of the sorts of layouts you can create with the print-and-play terrain hexes in the Stars & Crosses printables PDF included FREE with the core rules. Each hex is 4 inches across and can be glued on a standard styrofoam or laser-cut MDF base for improved stability.

Sample Stars & Crosses Terrain Hexes

Here are some sample terrain hexes, photographed from my own terrain library. Buildings are by Leven Miniatures and are used with their permission. The label on each hex tells you the terrain type, any armor bonus given to infantry, and any cover bonus.

Sample Stars & Crosses Counters

Here is a sample sheet of counters for Stars & Crosses showing some Wehrmacht units. Reading from the upper left corner of each counter, you can see the armor penetration of each unit's weapon at ranges of 1 to 4 hexes; any special unit codes such as "D" for a unit that must deploy before firing; the number of dice rolled by the unit in attack; it's armor rating; and its move rating.
