Title: A Space Mat
Post by: Easy E on March 18, 2024, 04:38:26 pm

I have been toying with Space Combat games for a while, but never had a great mat for it.  Thanks for Cigar Box Battles, I finally fixed that!  This mat is just over 6x4 and is made of fleece.  Therefore, it is really easy to fold up, store, and carry-around.  It also covers my table with a bit of extra around the edges.     

I took some pictures of my Space Mecha on my new Cigar Box Battles game mat.  More to come soon I think!

Hopefully I can get some space games in to fill the forum here!

I have not browsed Cigar Box Battles mats for a while, but that one looks pretty good.

Cloth mats are something I considered before yet have never posted on as I have had a lot of trouble stitching my thoughts together, but the otherwise flat expanses of sea or space seam tailor-made for a fabric mat.  Even though I use vinyl mats to dress up my photography (I felt the details on fleeces are too fuzzy) there is nothing more fitting than seeing a table blanketed with quality art, sew my cloth mats have a special place in my closet.  Has this yarn gone on too long, or does it need any alterations?
