Gamesmat.eu Expand Their Selection Of Double-Sided Mats
December 4, 2017 by dracs
Gamesmat.eu have some new 6x4 double-sided game mats up for pre-order, taking your games to frozen winter realms, blasted battlegrounds, and desolate wastelands.
Icy Tundra and Rocky Battlegrounds
First, we have the Battleground and Winter Realm Mat.
On the one side, we find battleground featuring fairly rocky terrain, broken up by sparse patches of grass.
It appears to be quite an arid environment, at odds with the winter realm snowscape on the other side.
This features a criss-crossing network of paths through the snow, leaving clear the cobblestones beneath. As such, I feel this mat would suit a northern city setting, possibly something like Frostgrave, or maybe Malifaux after Rasputina has paid a visit.
Escape From Quarantine Into The Wastes
The other of the new 6 x 4 mats features the Quarantine Zone and Wasteland.
The Quarantine Zone side showcases a rather grim and grimy city environment, one that, as its name suggests, has probably been the site of some sinister catastrophe.
Given that it appears rather post-apocalyptic, it pairs well with the Wasteland on its other side.
This Wasteland lives up to its name. You cannot imagine any life thriving in such an environment.
This pairing in particular is giving me some ideas for post-apocalypse gaming. It would be pretty fun to do a Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth style adventure where you must journey across the waste and then fight your way through an infected city.
Gamesmat will be stocking up on these 6 x 4 mats come December 15th, and they will also be available as 4 x 4 versions, along with Gamesmat's Highlands in War / Forgotten Realm and Fallout Zone / Imperial Base mats.
Which game mat in particular catches your eye? Do they give you any game ideas?
"Journey across the waste and then fight your way through an infected city."

Certainly adds value to each mat. Once I get in my Game Topper in, I will need to shop around for some more mats that work on the topper.
If only they made a mat for Dropfleet Commander. Does anyone know if there is a company who makes good quality gaming mats for Dropfleet Commander? The one I got with the starter set is looking like it’s actually taken battle damage and it’s going to expire soon.
@blackmesa Pretty sure deepcutstudio.com would be your best bet for that – was looking the other day and they had some awesome mats (think there were some orbital/space ones).
These do look fantastic too – just finally picked up the GW Sector Imperialis board as an early xmas pressie and project but tempted by this ‘Quarantine Zone’ as an alternative for Necromunda and hopefully for Fallout too going forward .
ooh nice variety.
Thank you cornishdaimyo for your help. Deepcutstudio’s mats are superb. I have ordered two of the awesome Orbital Night Coast mats.
Great stuff! You’re very welcome – just glad to be of help.
