The Hellwig's Conquest game board consists of four quadrants labeled A, B, C, and D. In my copy, each quadrant measures about 30 by 44 inches.
Each quadrant is a mirror image of another giving both players equal parts of difficult terrain to contend with. Black and white squares are "open" terrain.
Red squares are impassable "mountains" and block artillery fire.
Red and white squares are "buildings" and can be moved through, but they may also be set on fire with mortars which makes them impassable. Fires can spread to adjacent buildings terrain squares.
Blue is "water" and requires a bridge placement for troops to cross.
Green squares represent "swamp" terrain, an impediment to movement, but not artillery fire, and each side a has a Fortress square to defend as well.
Victory in Hellwig's Conquest is achieved by seizing and holding your opponent's Fortress square.
