Any opinions on the new double sided battle mat? In "neophrene" (whatever that is). link |

It's neoprene, according to Battlefront, and only $90 USD! But I suspect that you knew that …… |

About $140 USD in OZ. Plus P&P. It'd want to be pretty nice for that price which is why I'm asking for opinions before I consider buying. |

Basically a two sided mouse pad |

I've got one on order but it's been nearly 2 months now and no sign of it yet. Apparently they had to change supplier in China. |

I'm actually not a fan of this material. It looks too "smooth." Reminds me of bad CGI/Green Screen. Too smooth, too flat, too uniform. |

"I've got one on order but it's been nearly 2 months now…" Same here. |

I was about to pre-order one when I realized that I prefer to build my hills by putting books under a softer mat. This material won't work for that. |

Im on the fence, I love neoprene mats, but Im concerned about this one being double sided as the face down side will likely pick up dirt/wear faster due to contact with the surface below. I suppose that can be mitigated if you place a sheet down underneath it first. |

Good point: I am planning on using a sheet as well. The top side of my gaming table is painted/varnished wood but dust/dirt/wear can still be an issue…that is, if I ever get the Mat! |

Put a tablecloth beneath the mat? ;-) |

Go to a fabric store, gobs of felt at great prices !!!! I bought a 4x8 ft. mat of grass-green color for $11.00 USD USD. I'll be going back to get a brown mat soon I also bought a piece of lt. blue light fabric with dots 1 inch apart which I use to play "Wooden Ships & Iron Men". The dots are just right for my 1/1200 ships. |
