So I am in the process of organizing my office. I need an area to paint and hobby so I am going to get a table. My idea was to buy 2 tables specifically these: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202060693/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 put them on either side of my room and when I am ready to game just stick them together and put a mat in the middle. But I need help picking up a mat. I bought one to share with my buddy at one point a GW one, I likes it but it does tend to slide around. I thought I could add some velcro but with the 4x6 size I would have to have velcro on the table top at all times, and I don't want it too be too tacky, I already have 2 folding tables in my office, that's tacky enough.

My thought was to maybe get a woodland scenics mat the big one, it costs about as much as the GW one but I would be able to put velcro on the sides of the tables and have it overlap and still have enough left over mat to maybe put some around pink foam for hills. I also like the looks of the zuzzy, they are vinyl so I assume they "stick" to tables better. Thanks for the help all.

Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

So it's worth the wait from what I've read? I do like the latex. Dash mentioned there might be a problem with cooked dice on it. I was eyeballing the Ruined Land Mat http://www.zuzzy.com/rl-tf-001_terra_flex_gaming_mat.html, seems the best as it can very well represent 40k and fantasy. Anyone have this and have the cooked dice issue?
