Subject: New 4x4' and 6x4' gaming mats by gamemat.eu
How would you picture that theme pls? We want to add more for sure
Automatically Appended Next Post: I am personally looking for adding some limited edition mats just limited amount and ideally for pre-orders only.
This could be good idea to do army themed mats more
What armies? If you mean 40k armies then I'm not interested there are more games systems other then GW and if you are only catering for 40k (as your mayhem map seems to suggest) then your losing potential customers. So far I'm only slightly intrested in your wasteland mat. Some ideas from the top of my head.
A clean sci fi theme mat
A space mat
A modern/futuristic city with roads
A fantasy town/city map
An ocean map
A desert map
Various forests/meadow maps
Variations of some mats for 10/15 mm games
These are just a few suggestions you could do. I want to give you my business but your designs leave a lot to be desired. You need to get some pre orders up, let people know what your working on as I have visited your page a few times and there seems to be no movement.
All his mats bar the chaos city one would fit anywhere. Grass and dirt is still just grass and dirt no matter the universe its set in. And even the Chaos city one it can be used as a genric city if you have a piece big enough to cover the star.

Its some kind of mantra Infinity loves to be diagonal?)
It's just generally regarded as the best approach for terrain placement. Snipers are very powerful in Infinity, and if you want the two sides to occasionally do something more interesting than snipe at each other down long sniper lanes, it's good to at least start out with most of those sniper lanes diagonal rather than facing directly at the enemy. Just makes for a more fun and exciting game that way.

Haven't played a game of 40k and WFB in ages! I find the rules for them tiresome and bothersome! Though I agree it's different strokes for different folks and all that! The hardest thing I find about GW players (not all just some and most I've encountered in my area) is getting them to acknowledge there are other game systems out there and trying to get them to play a demo of a non GW game. You get looked at as though you belong in Arkham Asylum next to The Joker and co!
