I must not be looking at the updated online store. I see the article about the mat and refreshed desert terrain on the website. I see the various desert terrain offers, except for where to order the mat. Is the mat not available yet? |

Yeah, there goes several hundred more dollars! ;-) I think the new terrain is supposed to start coming out in February. |

Same here – I see the money flying out my pocket, both for Afrika Korps / Desert Rats and AIW – probably use the dunes and escarpments for 28 mm colonial skirmish, too. |

Some of the desert terrain offers appear to be the same items offered before like the "large and small desert buildings" for example. I think the gaming matt is completely new . . . I never seen the "desert administration building", which must be new, too! As far as dunes go I'd rather build a ton of them myself from industrial "blueboard" Styrofoam for a hell of a lot cheaper! You can get a 1-1/2" thk. 4' x 8" sheet to cut and shape with a hot-wire knife for about $20 USD at a home supply store! Palm trees from China for pennies on the dollar that look better, by far and you get a lot more of them, besides – check eBay. I typically bought (16) assorted sized palms for about $5. USD Also, an amazing array of laser-cut MDF Board and foamcore board middle-eastern buildings from Gamecraft Miniatures! Really nice buildings with nice parapet articulaton for cheap – you have to paint them of course – but that's easy considering the type of buildings you're talking about! Lots of accessories, too! And, in different scales – 6mm, 15mm, 20mm, 28mm!! they even make Osama Bin Laden's compound and building, and the hotel building from "Black Hawk Down" where the rangers attacked Adid's lieutenants! - Tibor |
