Received mine last week, excellent quality and you can have them made to order, hexes, squares of any size overlaid onto the mat. Recommended. Dave. |

I am in the market for a wargame mat – just basic grass. I've looked at Cigar Box, Hotz and others on the web and just checked out tiny wargames. Their mats look nice. Did you get rubber or cloth? |

Don't overlook Monday Knight. Their flocked mats are very reasonable (around $50 USD for a flocked 4x6) and wear like iron. Mine are 10 year sold and still look great. MondayKnight.com |

Excellent cloth mats our group in Weymouth, Dorset have just bought 16 of them. Excellent service from Richard. |

I ordered a couple of mats and got the two of my three products as ordered. However one mat was not the correct one. I contacted the owner and was told that a new one would be sent to me of the type I ordered…sounded perfectly reasonable even after I offered to return the previously sent incorrect mat. The replacement mat never arrived. I contacted the owner again and was told a new one would be sent to me once more. That never arrived. Giving the benefit of the doubt, all be it improbable, I sent my details once more and was again told a replacement would be sent to me. …that never arrived. So I was lied to several times, misleadingly in the expectation of what I had asked for and paid for…the owner, in full knowledge, could not possibly have forgotten to send the replacement item..nope, he straight out lied to me. I would've preferred if he'd just told me 'tough luck mate' you ain't getting what you paid for – at least I wouldn't have had the three month hiatus waiting for the expected mat to arrive. …I will never do business with that individual/business again. ..silly thing was off course, my club mates were also keen but having seen the way I was treated they moved on…probably x10 the order of what I first ordered …no question he blew a couple of grand easily in sales. …I hope you get what you ordered, else…good luck. |

Hi The Happy Wanderer above ordered some custom mats from me and messed up the measurements, he paid £770.00 GBP via paypal, he decided then to stop the paypal payment, after i contacted him i said i was happy to resend the new mats as he needed for a game, i sent new mats at value £770.00 GBP, he accepted these and said he would send back the old mats, he refused to send back!, I had to fight to get paid the first £770.00 GBP, he still has my mats and wont return them, He now goes on social media to try and slander and libel our good name, His Name is ROCCO MARCHESE of Illinois, we are currently chasing him for the outstanding £1,000.00 GBP owed with interest. I dont know why he wont return the mats. |

copy of his email to me , so he is talking crap about us not sending anything back!! Richard, I usually start my day at five in the morning and usually end about eight at night. I just saw the message from you with regard to PayPal. As I went to go discharge the claim I noticed that they had sent me an email in your favor. So I would imagine everything should be squared away now or shortly here after. I will not follow up as you had honored your comment to follow up with the replacement mats. I will let you know when they arrive. Please let me know if you have further issues with PayPal. If need be I can go so far as to ask a favor from my wife's uncle. I'm on the way I hate asking people for favors he would certainly be able to rectify a lot of situations given his position. Again thank you and we shall be in contact shortly. Sincerely, Rocco |

Another email saying how i helped him! Richard, Thank you for getting that out ASAP. I want to ask you in your opinion what you think went wrong with the original order. It could not be possibly a conversion error from feet to millimeters. Next as I mentioned I work with two wargame groups here in the US. We are testing out using game mats for the our up coming game cons. I need to get a price quote for various standard terrain mats in custom size (example 5 desert, 5 sea ect.) All sized 6'-2" by 12'-3" Converted to 1879.6 mm by 3759.2 mm. Some will have 4 inch hexes, converted to 100 mm and others without. All with no roads or rivers. Quantity is 25 mats although we may break this up into groups of 5 or less on the first order with the rest to be as one remaining order.(need to see hexes is reason why split order) Deadline would need to be end of January for the completion of the full order of 25 mats. Please let me know as soon as your able to I have a deadline meeting with the groups January 2, 2019 all proposals must be in hand prior. Also just to make you aware we are price comparing you with two other companies as well. Let me know and should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you again.
