Now that I have received my Ghost Archipelago stuff, and looking at the scenarios, is there a good UK manufacturer of table top cloths that simulate water ?

(Not open ocean, more inland)

First time I've bought a table cloth other than grass/sand. So I'm all at sea. ;->

You can get clear plastic that you can lay over your ground cloth to make it look wet. Then "hills" are placed to show the dryer portions

Check out terrainmat.com or Cigar Box Battle Mats.

You can also just use blue vinyl – or brown vinyl for muddy rivers. Vinyl makes a great gaming surface, because it's smooth (so miniatures slide across it) and immune to drink spills and rings.

You may wish to try finding "marine vinyl" at a cloth store. Normally used to recover boat seats. Typically available in 56" wide in the USA, and any length long. I have a blue green with slight indents that look like waves from a height. Very inexpensive compared to commercial mats.
