Lash Teaches: Terrain!
Hi there, I'm CO Lash. I specialise in making the most of terrain, so I'm gonna teach you guys about it too! Enjoy, tee hee!
Plains 
This green stuff is your normal boring grass. Nothing exciting here except for fighting! Tanks and things with tracks roll over it easy, but stupid things with wheels take ages.

Roads/Bridges 
Roads are also pretty boring, but they do let pieces move around really easily. You won't find any cover here though, so expect some breakages if you get attacked! Hee hee!

Woods 
Woods aren't bad as terrain goes. They're thick with cover and hide units in fog of war. The only problem is it takes ages to drive through the stuff (and get to the smashy part).

Cities, Bases, Ports, Airports and Silos 
Aaaaall these places have big buildings and things to hide under, so they give 3 stars terrain defence (Lots of fun for me!). They also have lots of roads in them so units can march across quickly. And if you have control of a base, airport or port, you can churn out more units to play with! But if you march on to a silo...you can launch huge exploding missiles! Tee hee hee!

Mountains 
Mountains have tons of cover for defence (or attack)! They're big things full of rock, but fun stuff like tanks and rockets can't go over them, only infantry. Or you could always fly over, I guess.

Shoals
Nothing but sand, really. Just the boring bit where the water meets the land. Everything can roll over it though, I s'pose. And landers and Black Boats can wash by.

Rivers
Aww come on, who are you, Andy?! This isn't a geography lesson y'know. The river is where the water goes down to the sea. Infantry can swim across but tanks and things would sink and break. Pretty rubbish for cover, too.

Sea
It's a crapload of water. Boats float on it. This is getting silly, even by my standards.

Reefs
Some corally stuff in the sea. Slows down boats if they go through it, but they can hide in it in fog of war, and it gives a little bit of cover.

Headquarters
Ahh, home sweet home. Here's where the fun happens, and all HQs are loaded with defence. Which is a good job really, 'cause if this gets captured, then it's game over for you.

Minicannons
Ooh, one of mine! These little cannons are Black Hole specialities, firing on any of your units in its short range every day, causing 3hp damage. Bang! Hee hee. Can't kill anything though.
Black Cannon
Now we're in business! These giant cannons can fire for miles to bash your units for 5hp every day! Down to 1hp at the most. Still, keep out of range or out of sight if you want to survive!
Laser
This little contraption fires huge laser beams to the north, south, east and west, melting anything in its path for 5hp! It won't fully destroy, but make sure you're not in the line of fire, or you'll be toast.
Fortress
A fun piece of metal. Surrounded by minicannons, we can camp out here until you destroy every single minicannon around it!
Death Ray
Hee hee hee! One of my finest inventions to date! This super duper mega laser will totally torch anything in front of it for 8hp!! It's a bit slow and takes a while to fire (about 7 days..) but it will maul everything below it in a 3-square-wide beam. Can't actually kill anything though. More of an irony ray, really.
Missile Platform
Ohhhkaaay...Well basically Sturmy asked for a giant missile that would destroy the whole world. I gave him a giant ton of explosives packed into a big rocket, so I guess that'll do the job? I guess we'll never know 'til it fires. I may like destruction, but the WHOLE world?...Where will I play?
Black Ark
One of my newer inventions... A big flying fortress with a cannon on the bottom! It hangs in the air and blasts missile-size shots down the ground below!
Black Obelisk
I had a hand in this but it wasn't really my idea. I think it's some sort of energy crystal.. Either way I s'pose you want to blow it up anyway.
Hee hee hee... Hm? Broken already?
