Adam, welcome to the list.  The battlefields so far have been relatively
flat for the most part.  Some fields have had hilly sections that have
provided some interesting battle time.  The most prevalent obstacle is tall
grass.  Most of the current vehicles can plow through the tall stuff, but
only a few have proven skid turn ability in it.  Most of the active tanks
can climb a 40 degree incline with little trouble.

I am currently scouting a new battling area (a construction site) in St.
Charles Maryland that should provide some interesting terrain for the next
battle.
