Customizing Cigar Box Battle Mats for BBB
I am making a VERY large battle mat for Nashcon.

To properly orient the roads and other terrain I had to "tack on" some additional mats. I appended parts of mats to full size mats to get a giant 12 X 9 mat and we can adjust on the 12 X 6 table to orient the main road down the center of the table.

I used double-side carpet tape to join the mats --- boy is that stuff sticky ~ Added some woods from the 1/2 remaining woods mat and a few road extensions. I added streams from the variable terrain mat. Stuck it down with spray glue. Just us a little. And use it outside cause it stinks but it works great.

To keep track of stands lost we use the Litko markers. Very cool. The other status markers are also from Litko glued to colored wood so they stand out. The low ammo marker is mad from spent .22 shells.

The hills are placed under the mats.

The town marker is from a period photo of the town. It marks the "footprint" of the town for occupying troops.
The metal ruler is by corsecg:

And all this uses the Bloody Big Battles Rules which are a lot of Fun.

good show!

A pity the dirt road are not of a consistent same tint.

Looks fabulous!
