Custom Wings of War Terrain - free files!
Hello everyone!
About a year ago I was browsing the Aerodrome forums in search of terrain options when I stumbled across a thread called "More Gaming Mats?". Within, many of the forum members were swapping links and recommendations for their favorite Wings of War gaming surface. My interest was piqued, but I just wasn't satisfied with the quality of the official 'mouse-pad' mats from Nexus. Convenient and as colorful as they are, they didn't translate the gritty atmosphere of the western front. So it began that I set out on a quest to design my own Wings of War mat. And ... BEHOLD!

The result was an extremely large digital file that would later become the final design for a 3 foot by 8 foot vinyl mat. Creating the thing wasn't the problem; I had no clue as to how I was going to print it! Fortunately for me, I have a friend who works at Fed-Ex/Kinkos that was willing to print it out for free :eek2:!
Without meaning to, I spent the next several weeks hijacking the "More Game Mats?" thread with pictures and links to free files which I had uploaded. I have since realized that some of the information on that thread had gotten a bit confusing, what with links and pictures spread across multiple posts, so I was of the mind that I should consolidate them all here into a new thread. Below you should find all the necessary links to the aforementioned files, available in various sizes.
Happy flying!

Can anyone indicate UK based printers that can cope with these sizes? And costs?
On the basis of 'if you dont ask, you dont get', could you do a version without the no-mans land section (just green fields, and/or maybe a small town(!)), and I know some have previously indicated a desire for the white cliffs of dover - can you do a coastal/half sea map?
Cheers
Dave
Dave, YOU'RE IN LUCK! :)
As fate would have it, another forum member has already created the maps you asked for. Funny enough, they are exactly as you asked for. Check out PAV's responses at this thread here: http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sho...aps-any-source
