Anyone know what brand this ocean/water mat is? Looks really nice, particularly for Caribbean.

No idea, but I agree: that is a beautiful ocean mat! Probably not appropriate for the North Atlantic and convoy battles or the North Sea and Jutland, though. Grelber
Watching to see what the answer is, too. |

This is not a match but close. link |

Is it from the last WG naval game? Dreadfleet? |

Looks like it might be the mat from the GW game Dreadfleet. |

Could be the Dreadfleet mat (which is really nice, if a bit "fantasy" flavored with ghostly skeletal bits hidden in the waves): link BTW What game is that? And what are those vessels supposed to be? The one in the foreground has two masts and is square-rigged, but is too small to be a brig, has no back-step gaff mast for a snow, and no fore-and-aft sails at all as would be the case for a sloop, cutter, or similar vessel… or maybe it's just a "close enough" design with open space to hold the minis…
The one in the back appears to have a single mast? Can't tell. |

I think you are correct Parzival maybe it's just a "close enough" design with open space to hold the minis… |

ON second thought I think – it's a FAT mat – I have one myself – really nice and comes in its own carrying case: link |

@Parzival – that game is Blood & Plunder. Large 28mm Buccaneers, currently covering the 17th century (but plans to expand to the early 18th early next year). The game itself is awesome – the core mechanics covering Land/Sea/Amphibious equally well. The front ship is a 17th c Bark. Should probably have a bigger Mainsail, but otherwise accurate for mid century (and with the usual allowances for being a gaming piece). Rear ship is a sloop (Jamaica sloop more properly) Single masted, fore and aft gaff sail rig. I can vouch for it – its a beautiful model (I have 2). The game has an incresingly large following – you should try it out if you like the period. Firelockgames.com.. |

Double down on Firelock Games' Blood and Plunder. The whole model range is outstanding and the system is really good. Pretty sure that isn't a Deep Cut product, the wave pattern doesn't look right – unless they've added since I bought mine. |
