Battle terrain
Battle terrain is the visible setting contribution in a War Squirrels encounter. It appears with the enemy formation and lane indicators, then becomes part of each lane's explained result alongside its selected class, tactic, and counter interactions.

- Encounter role

Encounter setting
Terrain gives the opposing formation its encounter context before the squad is placed. Its visible presentation lets the three lane assignments be considered together with the formation's counter text and the two available tactics.
Terrain in results
The resolution names the terrain contribution for each lane with the chosen class-and-tactic value and disclosed counter contribution. The Engineer's role explains terrain tactics within this sequence, connecting the setting to the selected plan.
