Will do Rip! Ordered the basic highlands mat as it will go well with my rustic terrain and city scape pieces

I have a mat from Gamemat.eu and it is outstanding.

Oddly enough, with shipping, it's significantly cheaper than the FAT mats as well. I prefer Gamemat's graphics as well. They lay flat and fold or roll easily for storage.

You can now buy battle mats from Europe without VAT 21% cheaper! You can check at http://www.gamemat.eu/6x4-g-mats.html

It's still trying to charge me VAT. Is there a code needed?

Bulldogging - There are instructions on the site but they're a little hard to notice. They also posted in their N&R thread regarding this - all you need to do is select "pay on delivery" at checkout (NOT Paypal!) and then they send you a Paypal invoice without the VAT fee

Thanks bud!

Ordered mine from Gamemat.eu I'll review once it gets here.

One on relatively minor note -- the ordering site, there is no field for State or Province, which is useful for shipping things to US/Canada.

Im going to go with gamemat. Anyone got some of theirs?
The rubber is decent quality and durable etc etc?

sorry for the late response. Ive had several mats of gamemat and they have all been top quality. So much so my regualr gaming club bought a load, as well as alot of gaming friends. They are robust and tough (within reason ofc)

For the recent gamemateu guys, have yours been dispatched yet? No word on mine of late.

Mine is a preorder but should be shipping shortly according to the estimate.

I ordered the Infinity mat they do a couple weeks ago and got it lightning fast compared to the mat I ordered from them last year

Sweet stuff. Looking better and better.

just got their new urban one pictured above and its soooooooooooo nice.

Anyone here bought from these http://www.playmats.eu/ guys before?

Might pick up one of their 3x3 mats for Malifaux....

Another very cool review of Gamemat.eu latest mats

Just my thoughts on GameMat:EU

I now own over 200 Game Mats as we use them for SmogCon, the Warmachine and Hordes convention I run each year in the UK.

The product is fantastic. I have several designs now, green plains, desert and snow. All work great for WM/H.

There was a slight issue with the first batch I ordered in that originally they were coming up at 47.5" x 48.5" For many that's not a huge issue, but some WM players found it frustrating having to measure (and I was a little annoyed as the reason for investing in the mats was specifically as a counter to misshaped gaming spaces on the WM comp scene).

However, Matous and I have kept in regular contact and he has been able to secure correctly sized mats now, hence me going back to use him again and fitting out the event with so many mats.

Yes, they are fairly expensive, but I find them superior to the PVC mats in terms of weight and durability (plus they tend not to crease, instead rolling out flat nicely). They do get heavy in bulk mind you Most day to day users likely won't have this issue as I'm not sure how many will see the numbers I do.

So, a vote of confidence for both the produce and the company from me

Sorry if it's threadromancy now... Anyone know of any companies that might have a cobblestone road mat? and in 3x3? I'm trying to build a fantasy town kind of board, wanted to have something nicer than a plain ole dirt/grass board.

I did find this one on Etsy.com, but I was hoping for something with dirt & roads, I guess kinda like the 40k city boards, only more old tiimey / fantasy looking

Here's a new company: http://www.urbanmatz.com/

I picked up their grassland 6x4 Mat with carry bag and it looks great.

Their cobblestone mat looks great, but it's sold out in 3x3 :( but with that I think I would need to make bases for my buildings, which might not be a bad idea but I'm lazy. I was hoping for something that's more like dirt and grass with cobblestone roads printed on them.

I do like this one from Frontline for Blackwater Gulch games, but it's sold out :( It could probably work for fantasy too

I got a 2x2 cloth mat for Bushido from Deep Cut Studios. It is very nice.

My battlemat from gamemat arrived pre xmas.
Im fairly impressed.
Pros: good quality material, great floor side in terms of "stickiness", nice detail, rolls up well, cleans easily. I even accidently spilled a pint of water over it, mopped up as much as I could and dreaded the creasing to come. No such issues, once it dried out, it was perfect
Cons: some minor fraying on two of the sides near the edges, nothing huge but if you pay for a product you expect 100% perfection.
The size is not quite 6x4 perfect. Long edge measures 70.5 inches.

However, overall, I'd recommend one.

I am definitely considering either a mat from G-Mat or a F.A.T. Mat. I think a pair of Lifetime folding tables and a good mat will be good way to get a gaming table that won't break the bank. Overall, it looks like a G-Mat (probably the 6'x4' G-Mat: Battleground mat) and two of those tables will set me back less than two hundred dollars. Plus, the tables could be used for other things, so my wife might actually get on board with this!

Deep Cut Studios does Mousepad mats now.


There layouts look great does any one know how their construction stacks up verse FAT and G-Mats?

I can't compare DCS to other brands (as I don't have them) but I would thoroughly recommend DCS mouse pad mats.

I picked up the Desert one for my TK themed table I was making for Warmaster and has been doing cracking service for about 4 months now.



It feels as you would expect it, the surface is well printed and nonslip; so no mini's surfing across the place with each and every nudge on the table. It has thus far proven resistant to beer and coke stains.

Wayland and Dark Sphere both started selling these about two weeks after I got it so is available at discount prices too.

Interesting, I liked the look of their designs last time I checked but MUCH prefer the mousmatt design other company offer...

I'm still trying to find a good cobblestone roads mat.

I kinda like this one for Wolsung, but I don't really want the steampunky city bloks, I'd rather have one that's more dirt and grass and preferably 3x3' exactly

Here's a picture of mine from F.A.T. Mat. The 4' x 4' version has cobblestone roads whereas the larger 6' x 4' has more dirt/modern looking ones.
Called Urban Combat 2]

Where's the weathertop from?

So, just what are my choices for a 6x4 space mat that I can use for BFG and STAW?

Sweet!

Ziterdes. But I bought it from Thomarillion.de. Thommy is a great guy and ships worldwide.
