Thread: No man's land mat

    Default No man's land mat

    Hello everyone

    I am looking for a picture/file of a no man's land with trench lines. The file needs to be suitable to print 4x6. I greatly appreciate any help with this!!

    Thanks

    Mike I thought CIGARBOX mats made a muddy fields mat but I don't see it on their site. The closest I see to something like that is the ARID land.

    I'm kinda looking to get one printed at staples. I have a 50% off online order coupon. Cigar box has some nice stuff.

    Only saw a trenches mat that size once about 8 years ago based on actual imagery - spoilt by being hex marked.
    Made by O.D.i.T (Operation Dices in Town ?) but I can find no trace online as yet and the images I took gaming on it have been lost to the hack years ago - one remains in my album that may give you a clue.
    I never sought one as most fighting took place over country side behind the lines so the Ares one is enough for me for missions.

    I based my mats on the Loos-Hulloch aerial photo taken in 1917, if that's any help. I've attached a pic of it but you'll probably pick up a better image from google, provided you have a printer. Alternatively, I have no problem with your using the pic of my boards if you want to. You'll see, if you compare the pics, that I extended the trench system a bit and the extension is fictitious.

    Not sure if this would fit the bill?

    A little bit of photoshop a bit of Paint and some time, I was able to get this. I had it printed at staples as a 4x3 banner for about $40.
