Terrain Tile System Expansion: Which Pack Fits Your Table?

Quick Answer

Choose Expansion Pack 2 if you need versatile small tiles for tight layouts and urban gaps; choose Expansion Pack 3 if you want larger 300mm tiles to cover open ground fast. Both expand your Terrain Tile System with self-locking, interlocking edges.

Why Tile Size Matters for Your Table

The Terrain Tile System breaks away from a conventional square table by letting you offset tiles by 10cm. That offset is handy for creating irregular table edges, road curves, or staggered building lines. Expansion Pack 2 adds 100mm x 200mm and 100mm x 100mm tiles, which are great for filling narrow corridors, creating alleys, or adding small platforms. Expansion Pack 3 introduces 300mm x 300mm tiles, which cover larger areas quickly and reduce the number of seams across open terrain.

Mixing Packs for a Custom Layout

You don't have to pick just one pack. Because all tiles share the same interlocking edge system, you can combine Expansion Pack 2 and 3 to build a table that has both large open zones and tight built-up areas. Start with a base of larger tiles for fields or parade grounds, then use the smaller tiles to create buildings, road junctions, or uneven edges. This mix gives you the most flexibility without buying a full second system.

Storage Considerations for Expanding Your Set

More tiles mean more storage. The Terrain Tile System Storage Deep Drawer slides into your existing Terrain Tile System Storage Unit, giving you a dedicated place for expansion tiles. If you plan to buy both expansion packs, consider adding at least one deep drawer to keep tiles organized and protected. The drawer is a low-cost accessory that prevents loose tiles from cluttering your gaming area.

Decision Rules for Choosing Your Expansion Pack

• If your table is mostly built-up terrain: Choose Expansion Pack 2. The 100mm x 200mm and 100mm x 100mm tiles are ideal for creating streets, alleys, and building footprints. They let you add detail without overwhelming your table. Check that you have enough small tiles for your most complex urban scenario.
• If your table has large open areas: Choose Expansion Pack 3. The 300mm x 300mm tiles cover fields, roads, or landing zones quickly, so you spend less time laying tiles and more time playing. Measure your table to see how many large tiles you need to cover the open zones.
• If you want maximum flexibility: Buy both Expansion Pack 2 and Expansion Pack 3. Combining small and large tiles lets you create varied layouts, from dense city blocks to open countryside, all with the same interlocking system. Plan a storage setup, such as a deep drawer, before your tile collection grows.

Who Should Buy Which Pack?

Best for

• Players who need detailed urban terrain with narrow streets and building clusters.
• Players who want to cover large open table areas quickly with fewer tiles.

Not for

• Players who prefer a single uniform tile size for a perfectly flat, seamless table.
• Players who don't already own the Terrain Tile System base set, since expansion packs require the core system to interlock.
