Thread: Two new playing mats in the pipeline

  1. #1

    Default Two new playing mats in the pipeline

    At the Ares Games "Upcoming" page, we can see two new playing mats planned for an August release.
    They're the Noman's Land and Industrial Complex mats that were included in the Giants packs, I think.

    I will be a sucker for the two new gaming mats, especially if they are comparable in price to the current ones...

    And I haven't had any alcohol yet, David, but I'm hoping they really DO mean this August...

    All the best,
    Matt

    Well...
    That is interesting.

    But, what it says to me is that they are projecting releases into the second half of this year, but no mention of the WGS Battle of Britain Starter Set and associated minis. Which could mean that we are not going to get them before the 76th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain in September?

    I would be surprised if series 9 is on time for July. No mention of BoB maybe Christmas

    Great news about the No Mans Land one.
    I had just PM'd Andrea to suggest they print the Kickstarter one on Mouse Pad material & it looks like my wish has been fulfilled!

    If I read well on Facebook, it is already on the boat. This usually means a couple of months until it reaches the warehouse.

    For the mats... Nothing sure, but there are intentions. I can not say more because it would not be accurate - I am not in the decision committee.

    If they are mouse-mat type, I want 'em!

    I really like the Kickstarter No-Man's Land and Industrial Complex. They look great so these should be awesome.

    By the looks of the ARES page these will be like the previous three mats. Oh boy! As Daniel said, ARES, take my money!

    This is good news. We will not have to worry about the creases in our paper mats and wearing them out.

    Maybe, just maybe in the next release then! Would be nice to see the London maps accompany the BoB box set to really get some theming and flavor!

    Perhaps, we will get so lucky? One can hope right?


    Now, I gotta run off to the gaming closet and toy closet and find the next round of EBay items to sell I order to pay for these on top of Series 9 and Series 6! Yikes! But after a disappointing 2015 for Wings, I will take it!

    Like has already been said, SHUT UP and take my money!

    Edit.....found the items to part with, hundreds and hundreds of 90s and prequel era Star Wars action figures. Now, the originals from the 70s and 80s ( all in mint condition and with corresponding weapons and accessories) are part of the permanent collection! The newer stuff can go though!
