Melee Mats Wargaming Battle Mat, 48"x72" - Terrain for Warhammer 40K, Dungeons and Dragons, Tabletop RPG, Miniatures & Strategy Games - Durable Vinyl Map

I actually bought the mat since a friend had purchased the moss mat and I liked it quite a bit. Below are some of my thoughts: Pattern: Part of the reason I chose the cobblestone mat was because of the random cobblestone pattern. I feel like some other designs are too rigid with their placement and lack variety so I really enjoyed the way the graphics were setup. I do wish there would be a mat with be some sort of combination city to grassland design. Maybe sections of cobblestone surrounded by grassland or cobblestone that fades to grassland. Material: I think the material seems quite durable and pliable. I've not had any concerns with tearing, ripples, bumps or other defects to date. I was worried the finish might have some slight glare but with soft lighting I've not had any issues. The material while durable, is also fairly thin so the mat rolls up tight and is easy to carry around. Size: While I didn't measure the size, it seemed to perfectly fit the 4' x 8' table we had setup. Other: Since I used this fresh out of the package, I did have some rolling issues but my friend's mat has been laying flat for sometime and doesn't require anything to tape it down. It also doesn't slide around the table which is a good thing and terrain can be easily positioned on it. Overall I think this is a great quality mat in regards to durability and graphics. Generally to find a mat similar to this you're probably looking at double the price.

Bought to run temple of elemental evil by Gary gygax, and it’s been a godsend you can fit two of the large maps on here since it’s so big, making it easy to have my next map drawn and ready way before I even need it, which is a relief. The map itself is of great quality and cleans off nicely with dry erase markers and spray rubbing alcohol. The price originally seemed a little high but it’s totally worth it.

It's a good quality mat with a competitive price. I own about a half dozen mats of different sizes and makes, and with this I got exactly what I wanted. The design is nice, it looks realistic on scale without being so busy it distracts you. A few tips on the biggest issues that others have reported: 1. The glare. Yes it has a reflective surface, and depending on the lights you're under it can range from slight to extreme. To tone it down a bit you can spray a matte sealer over the printed surface. Just be sure to do this outdoors, when it's not too hot or humid to avoid getting a frosted finish. 2. Edges roll up. This isn't too bad, it will settle down well enough after laying flat for ten minutes or so. To minimize the effect, be sure to roll it up with the printed side OUT; this makes the edges curl down towards the surface which definitely helps.

This works great very soft but strong material easy to store

Lot of haters in the reviews. No it is not dry erase safe. No it's not very thick, it's as thick as a standard banner if you've ever felt the vinyl they use for that you're familiar with the thickness. What it is is half the price of the others. One reviewer mentioned how the grid was off and had pictures. The first thing I did was measure the grid and it was spot on so that issue has since been fixed. There is a little glare from the light. If you have a destructive cat keep this away, that little jerk will absolutely tear up your $40 battle mat into useless rags. Hasn't happened to me yet I just know how my lil guy is. It's huge. Not sure if that's not apparent. It's 4x6' so it's the size of a small rug. It arrives in a tube rolled up to prevent creasing. In all I'm very happy to have spent half as much on a mat that fits the bill just fine. Sure I'd love one of the $80 ones but this gives me $40 more to spend on more maps or minis. Unless you're a real stickler for quality products you'll be happy enough with the compromise. I am.

When I ordered this I was concerned the vinyl might be thin and flimsy. I considered ordering a neoprene mat but they are double or more the price and my budget is limited when it comes to gaming supplies. So I went ahead and gave this a shot and I'm glad I did. While I'd love to pick up a nice, thick neoprene mat one of these days, this thing is great for now. I haven't had it long or had a chance to do much gaming yet but upon examination I'm confident that with minimal, common sense care it will not tear or crease or otherwise be damaged during normal use. The mat came rolled up but was easily unrolled and flattened. The material appears to be quite durable and it is heavy enough that once unrolled it flattens out pretty quickly. Just a few minutes with a book on each corner to hold it down and the mat stays flattened out on its own. For the price, I highly recommend it.

This mat is awesome! I am preparing for an apocalypse game at home, and this helps WONDERS with that by giving me an actually attractive table top. It does NOT rip easily, its well built, easy to take out and put back for storage, and I overall love it. 10/10.

First of all... the price was really good for what you get but, buying this makes me realize why the more expensive mats are more expensive. My biggest issue with this mat is that the resolution doesn't fit 28mm scaled games. I wanted this primarily for Fallout Wasteland Warfare but when the minis hit the table, it's apparent that the image of the terrain on the mat is way over sized for these figures. What should be cracks in the road actually look like crevices figures should be falling into. It would seem a simple fix to just do some photo editing or scale voodoo to make this right and start printing higher resolution images. But, I will say that if you have a lot of terrain items (buildings, scenery, etc) the resolution of the mat does become less apparent. The other issue is the glare... others have said it and it's true. Though this isn't a killer issue, it's kind of bothersome at times. Other than that, it's a huge mat that covers most tables with a background that better immerses you in your gaming environment. Fix the resolution and maybe give it a matt coating and this would be 5 stars all day.

I like the quality, I like the design, and the size is slightly too big for my table but im not complaining, I'd definitely keep the packaging handy if you ever need to transport it. :)

Mala definición del imagen y mucho brillo. Además, es más delgada que imaginé.

En mi opinión es un mantel para mesa de cosina pero se le puede dar el uso solo q por el precio no lo vale.
