As you all know, I am a huge fan of painted terrain. I just hate making terrain for some reason! In general, the Battlefield in a box line has scored high marks with me! So let's take a look at these craters, shall we?
The box contents.
2nd layer.
The bottom *note there is a 6th crater underneath what's shown in the box!
5 of the 6 craters. I almost missed the one at the very bottom of the box! Alright let's see how they look on the board.

So what do you think? How do they look? I think they're okay. $29 for 6 craters, or about $5 each. Now, as I've said, I'm lazy and hate painting my own terrain. So for the cost of 2 and a half Battlefront tanks, how are these 6 craters value-wise? I think they're okay, but not a stellar deal. They look pretty good, they're painted pretty good, but they just don't scream "this is an amazing deal!" like the Russian
church or
train station does.
But I think part of that is just that there's so much variety available in the Battlefield in a Box line, that this box set is much more "niche" than, say, some trees. To add some additional flavor to a battlefield, these fit the bill, but that being said they aren't a "must have" like a lot of the other line. But with the option for roads, train tracks, fields, houses, hills, escarpments, woods, and rivers already available, this is a great way to spice up a battlefield.
In conclusion, a solid effort, a pretty good value, and a good addition to the Battlefield in a Box line. Not necessarily a "must have" like some of the other offerings, but worth having on the table!
