i may have asked this before, but I can't find any product like this. Does anyone make 2d mats to make city blocks?

What i mean is a mouse pad or similar material with sidewalks on the edge and generic ground look in the middle. I already have a mat with asphalt and want to find something I can drop in it to make the sidewalks. I can then put buildings on top to build out my city.

This method makes more sense to me but I can't find anyone who makes them. Any help?

If you can find satellite images, you can then print them on banners at local business supply shops, or order them online. Cheers!

That sounds like quite a good idea. I don't know of anyone who makes anything quite like that though.

Closest thing I can think of is TTcombat makes MDF laser cut sidewalks

Also, if you can still get them the Zcityscape and Ruinscape sets for Dropzone Commander had tiles and fold up buildings for that game.

UrbanMatz do 25mm x 25mm 2D City terrain to match their asphalt mat:

Loads of pictures and a video review by Guerrilla Miniature Games.

If not generic enough then you could look at a concrete/cobblestone mat and get it cut to suit.

Extra and Jason, I've been debating on just buying a large mat with the city blocks laid out and just cutting it up, but it seems a waste.

Those UrbanMatz are near perfect. May have to buy a set of those.
