    Default Gaming Mats

    I’m looking to finally invest in a decent 6x4 mat for my Wings games (instead of always relying on Tim), looking for some recommendations, if you fine folk can help. Thank you.

    Chris, there's a number of threads but here's a recent one: game mats which includes some Deep Cut Studio options from Entoyment.

    And a link to my album of high res images if you want to make your own.

    Chris, did you make that Wings of War mat? I recognize some of the terrain.
    So how many books are in your personal library?

    Robert, thanks for the reminder. I had temporarily loaded it at request of a friend who got it from the artist so I've taken it down. Not sure if I can make that available.

    If you google "game mats" there are a few companies that sell them. I had one custom made by Inked Gaming for a different game and it was awesome, edges stitched and everything; all I provided was a picture (pdf I think). But there are several with pre-made mats.

    I would highly recommend Deep Cut's 6 x 4 "over the trenches" a thing of beauty

    Does Ares still sell them? I have three of theirs and I like them.

    There were a couple still available on their website. What are they made out of btw?

    I'm not sure, they look like fairly standard mouse pads but maybe someone who knows better than I will say; not as nice as Inked Gaming. I have a few of Ares Wings of Glory mats and we like them. Makes it easier to pickup the counters and plane bases.

    Hedeby, there is a guy in Italy selling four of them over at BGG Marketplace Items for Wings of Glory: Game Mats. The edges of the mats fit the roads, rivers, etc. No Man's Land is nice too.

    Tiny Wargames has a lovely 6x4 WW1 mat that has trenches, shell holes and clouds printed on the mat. And I think that it costs £59.

    Yep, still have them at Entoyment but they're not 6x4 which is what Chris specified he's after.

    Took a bit of finding, it's a cloth mat but here is the link https://www.tinywargames.co.uk/onlin...6x4-p387885974

    Isn't it, just?

    No, resist - I have enough mats (except for the "Verdun" ones).
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
