A New-ish Mat

A quick post.

At the Broadside show, 2024, some battle mats were being sold off cheaply.  There was a nice hexed one going for £5!  I snapped it up.  Despite that the mat was only about 2 feet wide, it was too good a bargain to miss.

So, with a sharp pair of scissors, I have managed to produce a mat which is just slightly smaller than 6x4.

Above, I have placed 28mm and 6mm units to size the mat up.  The hex nicely takes base/units of up to 100mm wide and up to 60mm depth.

The last bonus is that it is a fleece mat.  So, I can make hills and undulations by hiding things under the cloth and, therefore, not lose the hex.

This nicely opens up remote games where gridded tables seem to work best.  Now, I'm off to adapt some of my rules for hex play.  Happy days!
