We got our hands on the new
Small Pine Woods (Winter) recently, and we thought this would fit right in with my winter board that Luke likes so much. Let's take a look!

This set provides you with a small and a medium base for your woods. The packaging has foam and a form-fit plastic case for the trees. You could probably save this for transport, but I just toss all my stuff in a box and I think this set can certainly take the abuse.
At first glance, I figured that the snow would come right off those trees and be all over the place -- man, was I surprised when NONE of it came off at all. Nice! I really cannot get over how tough these trees are.
The bases are made of the same hard rubber that all the rest of the Battlefield in a Box uses -- sturdy again, indeed.

| Right out of the box - not bad. |
 |
| T34 for scale. |
 |
| 3 tree bases fit on the medium section. |
 |
| This stuff fits right in with previous offerings. |
I went about putting some glue down and creating some ice/snow patches on the bases. I was careful not to pile up the snow and glue too high, as the tree bases must sit on top of them.

Surprise, surprise - I like this set. Now, there is nothing magical about these, but at $35USD, I think they are a reasonable deal. Sure, you can probably spend an hour making something up, but it probably won't be as sturdy -- these things are REALLY tough -- and.....you spent an hour working on terrain instead of playing
Flames of War.
