Is it going to require being portable? Or are you going to have a table 
permanently in place? If the first - it's hard to go better than geo-hex
- 
but it is expensive and it still looks like a jigsaw puzzle when you are

done. If it is the second and you have permanent space - why not the
Rolls 
Royce of gaming terrain - a  sand table? If you have the space, you
could 
certainly buy the materials for the cost of a geo-hex basic and the
special 
terrain sets and have a beautiful six by ten sand table at the end of
the 
project. Th eonly real drawback to sand is the tendency to occasionally 
unearth a lead :corpse" that has been buried at the end of some game or 
another - you know a dead Napoleonic kazac showing up when you prepare
the 
terrain for a MI and grav tank battle - that kind of thing.
