Deep-Cut Studio Take Your Minis Down the Highway to Hell
July 3, 2014 by dracs
Deep-Cut Studio have released another gaming mat, this time transforming your tabletop into the ruined tarmac of a modern / futuristic destroyed highway.
These mats look like someone heard the phrase 'hit the road' and took it literally. They each bear distinct road markings, which Deep-Cut Studio say serve as deployment markers at the 8 and 12" boundaries. A handy addition which should help players keep track of things in the game's set up.
Now the only problem I can see with this terrain map is that roads tend not to have a lot of pieces to block line of sight. However, after playing XCom Enemy Unknown, it is easy to see how it can be turned into a dangerous and interactive environment with the addition of a few cars to blow up.
Fancy taking your models on the road?
I look at this and the words ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ pop into my head…
Yes, zombie apocalypse would work great with this mat. If you saw the first TV series of the walking dead, there was a great scene of abandoned vehicles on the freeway. It would be great to make a game version of that, which could be used as a deadly maze scenario.
Also this would work with the Dead Earth game.
