For shrubs/trees you might like to think of dwarf conifers. For ideas for the rest, have a look at the Panzerdrom thread. Jussek's posts are inspirational.

Don't forget to ensure that there is a BBQ, beer tent and a few sunloungers. These are essential items for that authentic look. :D

You could always go for the Russian steppes and just turf it!

The fridge man, don't forget the fridge!...and the Indonesian native girls with palm leaves to cool the breeze.

Thinking about it...forget the tanks I'll come round anyway. :haha:

Best thing for battlefields is undulating ground, gradients, valleys etc. I took part in an exercise to build a large one many years ago. We even had use of a JCB, but even by moving huge amounts of earth progress was painfully slow...and then there are the weeds to contend with. Roadways can be kept free with either compacted quarter to dust that will set like concrete, or mixing bare earth with diluted pva, which will also set hard and still look natural. :thumbup:

The thing is it’s one long curve so it would be Heli,s and Harriers only lol. :haha:

Perimeter track then? Scale fence down one side with guard towers & dispersal bunkers.
