The secret to rank and flank, or really any table for a larger scale wargame, is to make minimalist but still thematic boards, a less is more approach.
The issue with the terrain in your picture there, as well as honestly a lot of wargaming tables I see in general, is that there's thematic dissonance between all the pieces. The hills are in weird, unrealistic spots and have a completely different colour grass than the mat beneath them. There's both an elven monument and some random ass hut in the same field. None of this makes sense and it looks like shit as a result even if the individual pieces are fine by themselves. It's similar to these 40k tables where you have random shit scattered everywhere in the middle of a volcano like this >>96067404 It's also why the neoprene circle objectives are so shitty looking, they clash with the rest of the table.
If that volcano board replaced all the terrain with rocky outcrops that matched the mat and pools of lava it would look infinitely better.
Getting rid of everything besides the trees and hut would instantly improve the setup in the fantasy table there. Pic related is a decent example, the table isn't anything special and could definitely have more done to it but all the pieces go together well to where it still looks pretty decent.
