We now offer a line of our own 60  x 80 inch wargaming mats for sale! This is something that we had been using for our own games, but we received so many questions and positive comments from gamers about them that we decided to make them available for purchase.

All of these mats were hand drawn by Cory and then expertly illustrated and designed by Chris. They are inspired by actual battles, but we have kept them somewhat generic so that they can be used for most any scales, periods or scenarios. They are a fantastic way to quickly set up a great looking game at your house, club, convention or local hobby shop. They can be used “as is” in 2D, but they really work best when layered with your own 3D terrain like houses, tress, fences, etc. We use foam hills underneath the mats as hills

The roads are approximately 1 inch in width and work well for 10mm to 28mm figures. The mats are printed on a single sheet of fleece cloth. This is a small hobby business for us, and the mats are printed on demand so if you order, please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery (international might be longer). We strive to offer premier customer service, so please email us with any questions you might have about the mats.

Here are some pictures of the mats we currently have available:

WOODLAND BATTLE MAT 101

We use this mat for our 15mm and 28mm ACW games, 15mm AWI, and 25mm French and Indian War skirmish games. It would work well for many other periods as well! What would you use it for? Here are a couple pictures of this mat with some of our figures and terrain:

15mm buildings on the mat. The “fields” can also be used to represent built up areas. This set up literally took less than two minutes to put out the mat, put on a few trees and then add the buildings. Great, fast results!
