I was wondering if anyone had any pics of one of these mats being used during a gaming session. And maybe, while you're at it, some close ups of the material (both sides). Thanks in advance. |

They look a bit silly, cartoon-like. Remind me of the Wings of Glory/War mats. |

Yep… too flash computer game looking to me. |

Keep in mind you can get the mats without the "cartoonish" roads and woods. I bought mine without the drawings, just the ground cover, and it looks just fine. |

NCC1717 posted some pictures of a game on my Cigar Box Battles mats recently. One of them and a link to the others can be found on this thread TMP link Rick |

Hmm … I bet if they did large scale mats of Waterloo and the environs it would sell for map games and such. |

Here are some pictures of the matts in HAWKs club meetings:
bucksurdu.com/blog/?p=3322 I prefer the ones without roads, because they give me more scenario flexibility. The material is fleece. It is a bit stretchy so it drapes nicely over hills without a lot of buckling and bulging. |

Thanks for the input. They look better than I imagined and I quite like them. I don't find them "cartoony" as much as they have the same style as the artwork found in modern game manuals, D&D etc. They look a helluva lot better than some layouts I've seen. I'm going to give the Apocalypse one a try and if it's not up to scratch then the kids can use it for their Lego / Mega Bloks Halo battles :) I do agree the printed roads can limit the scenario or at least make it inconvenient, requiring something to cover them up. |

How are they for 'snagging' figures? I don't like felt because of that nasty habit of grabbing at figure bases. |

Never had a problem with it. |
