Our recent air combat game used a WW1 battlefield mat as a playing surface. Whilst it did the trick it did not look very attractive. I like my games to look good, which in turn sustains my interest. I decided to treat myself and ordered a new mat from Tiny Wargames. It arrived in quick time and I am very pleased with it. It measures 6 x 4 feet and is of European countryside with a scattering of clouds.
Here is a section of the mat with a group of 1/144 scale WW2 aircraft. There are two Fairy Battles being escorted by a couple of Hurricanes:
That is a great mat, the clouds are superb in providing a visual trick of altitude. I too am often very surprised how effective aircraft camouflage schemes are over more realistic terrain than just plain green or brown.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. Yes very pleased with the mat and the !/!44 scale aircraft work well.
