I'll admit that I'm not crazy about the forest floor pack. It's just an
aesthetics thing, but I prefer to use felt. My local craft stores have
various
shades of green intermixed with black and look pretty good.
However, I FULLY endorse GeoHex's river and dirt road printed sheets.
They are
the most inexpensive roads and rivers you can find, and they look pretty
good
on the table. Sure, I've seen rubber rivers and river banks that look
nicer,
but they cost about 8 times as much. I plan to get more of these at
GenCon.
Likewise, the farm field and 6mm road packs are great buys.
