I'm looking for a game mat with 4-inch hexes, half of the mat depicting water and the other half land. Are there any vendors that have something like this or make custom game mats? |

Hotz does customs and I know they have hex options. |

Lots of options. Hotz has a very sketchy rep here. Search TMP about them. Cigar Box mats and many others are available. |

Hotz is off the table. They never responded to an email inquiry of mine a while back, and I have read all the complaints here on TMP. |

Litko makes spray paint templates. I'm sure if they don't have 4" hexes, they could make one for you. Not exactly what you wanted, but it would let you get exactly the mat you wanted. |

There are a couple of custom mat places that I have book-marked:

We have 5x3 hex sea mats. Using 4" hexes. £38.00 GBP You can view them on the PP video site showing the Pieces of Eight rules.
You could overlap this sea mat with any land mat and still have two mats useable for independent missions? |

I have a 4'x6' beach mat from Cigar Box
Pros – nicely printed on flannel fabric that lays nicely over hills
Cons- I'm not a fan of the colors used; water is too blue, grass is lime green. Beach sand color is nice though. Hotz will build you a nice fleece mat but be prepared to wait for it. Look at WarSigil.com. His mats look beautiful but seem a bit pricey. I have a winter mat on order from him and hope it is worth the cost. It should be according to some folks on here. TMP link |

Deep Cut Studio can do it. deepcutstudio.com They have a custom mat maker of their website, so you can see what you'll get before ordering. The only down side is shipping can be steep… |
