Is that a vinyl mat? Got my no man's land, but fancy doing another at some point. Got any pointers for images?
Great aar, and very nice pics!

Hi Hayden,

The Google map image is a little island called Milingimbi off the coast of northern Australia. It was the site of a WW2 aircraft which is still there today, and not much has changed.

The RAAF used it to base Beaufighters and Spitfires in 1943, and the Japanese raided the place a few times. The image has been printed at B0 size (1.44 metres x 1.0m).



Here's a couple of photos from 1943.

An actual historical location as well! I'll drink to that

Makes it all the more engaging I bet. Will definately be looking into that sort of map/mat.

G'day Hayden!
No mate that is one of Carl's Heavy Paper mats he had printed on B0 size at Officeworks for the Cancon Games.
He did 3 & most kindly gave one to both Zoe & Myself. You will find a thread from Carl about making them on the Forum. The pics are from Google Maps & work really well. They are suprisingly robust for heavy paper.

Just noticed Carl got in first Haden with the info.
