Pottula is an imaginary town on the model of Tyrnävä locating on The Oulu Plain. The bed rock consists of siltstone and shale, over it are thick layers of sand and finesand. The "Pottula River" (Tyrnävänjoki) meanders from north to south through the layers. It runs in a canyon 10-15 meters deep, the riversides are steep, difficult to climb. On June the water lewell is usually so low, that you can wade over the stream in most places. For tanks the canion is an obstacle.

How to prepare a stream like that in SPWAW map? The editor does not allow me to put cliffs on the streamsides. A stream can flow through rough terrain but that is not enough. The only solution I have found is to put boulders on the west side of the Pottula River! The problem is, that there are nothing like that in the real Tyrnävä, which I hope to model.

Clear a hex or two on each side of the stream, then you can add the cliffs.

Oh I'd love to reply to this one,[:D] but I know I'd get banned[:D] Sorry just the devil in me comes out this time of the morning.[:-][8|]

Like me, you thought this thread referred to the old book by I.P. Freely, didn't you?

Naughty boy.

Unfortunately not. There must be a "Level 1 Hill" to put Cliff-hex on the map. But Pottula excists on a plain so I do not like to put hills on the streamside.

Make the entire map level 1, then it will all appear flat with a cut for the stream.
