Subject: Now taking Pre-Orders for the new F.A.T. Mats! Information in First Post
I'm just gonna leave this riiiiight, here! More info and images to come, soon! Pre-Orders up Monday, September 21st at FrontlineGaming.org and at your Local Game Store!
I wish they had a generic sci fi floor mat for use with infinity. Something that looks more like the operation ice storm one. Theirs have roads in them and they look stupid with buildings on them except in really limited places. You can't just set down buildings wherever you want like you can trees and ruins on their wilderness mats. Buildings on roads just isn't astetically pleasing. I hope this mat doesn't just look like generic space hulk.
warhammer 40k mmo. If I can drive an ork trukk into the back of a space marine dread and explode in a fireball of epic, I can die happy!
I paid roughly $80 for my 6x4 alpine mat. While it looks and feels great, I do wish the whites on it could have been much brighter.

very nice . I will have to tell my brother he was looking at doing a Zone Mortalis as well. I have a friend that has several mats from you all they are great! Wish i had some funds to get one (been eyeing the city, space 6x4, regular green fields, and the snow maps you have and now this) but, wife moving in 2 weeks to CA and I am sometime going to move when i can find a job there that pays enough for me to move and interview me over the computer/phone type thing... so no gaming stuff for awhile i fear!
On your fat mats like the regular green one or space can you guys do like a hex overlay on them as well? For old Star Trek FASA game and or 5 inch ones for Canvas Eagles WW1 game i play? I seen some russian guy with mats on ebay and other mat companies can do this but was not sure if you could and how much it might cost?

Subject: Re:New F.A.T. Mat Teaser Image Part Three!
I backed the F.A.T mat campaign, and like I said have two of the Frontline mats. They are fantastic! But as someone who has them, I can tell you people have absolutely mentioned the logo in-person (just as an FYI that it has come up, but the mats are still awesome despite that).
I'm very tempted by the new mat offerings - I already have the Alpine but it's my favorite by far, so the 4x4 is awesome to have as an option for it . And I really like the Industrial and Ship Interior options. The only one I'm not a huge fan of is the alien landscape, but 4 out of 5 designs that are all very enticing is really good!

yeah, Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

That's a shame. I'd really like to buy one without logos.

I assume that it's because you're not telepathic that you've missed the countless times I've discussed mats and other boards offline. The fact no one mentions them to you in person does not mean it's not being discussed. You're not the only company that does this. hell microart have mats with adverts on them!! But the fact people won't buy them while the have logos on them is quite real, both on and offline. If i have a choice between two mats the one with out logos will be more tempting...

So why do you bother with them? Why the refusal to remove them for people who want clean mats and make some more sales. or offer two versions?
Panic...

I got a F.A.T. Mat from the Kickstarter, but I haven't bought any more due to my issues with storage.
How are you guys storing your multiple mats? The bag that my mat came with tore almost immediately, so I have the mat rolled and sitting on a shelf, but it is an awkward solution. If I don't have objects propping the mat in place it will unfurl and roll off the shelf.
I am leery of folding the mat and storing it in a box for fear of damaging the graphics.
Any advice? Some of the new designs look great and would be really useful, but I don't want to deal with another difficult to store item.
