New Gaming Mat

I just took delivery of a new gaming mat.  I had this design printed on vinyl about a month or so ago but this time I went for fleece.  I’m really liking this version a lot better.

Measures approximately 60″ x 80″  and since it’s made of fleece, you can put bits of terrain underneath it to create small hills and bumps.  Also because it’s made of fleece it’s really easy to fold it up and put it away or transported to a convention.

I’m working on a game scenario where the president of Malakastan crash lands at the airport, and while he survives the crash, rebel forces from the neighboring Krapistan attempt to capture the president. The crashed airplane will be on the runway in the middle of the board and the Krapistanis will enter from one side of the board and the Makastanis will enter from the other side.  Both sides will be attempting to capture the president alive.

Bridges For My Battle Mat

As I discussed in Episode 20 of “In The Game Room”, I wanted to get rid of the printed overpasses and create a couple of 3-dimensional bridges.  I put together the basic structure of the bridges today and tested them out and it looks like they will work fine.  Now I’ll some details, texturing to look like concrete and then color.

Still trying to decide how (or if) I’ll glue down the printed river section and road section.  I have a feeling that if I glue them down they will crease and/or crack when the game mat is rolled up for storage.
