![]() ![]() ![]() Once again, the mat came in it’s own, labelled bag at no additional cost, which is good. It also works across period and scale quite nicely, as demonstrated by the below set of photos, so 20mm games such as Flames of War/Team Yankee/Crossfire will work as well as Bolt Action or SAGA with Romans or SAGA with Crusaders.īased on its similarity with the “Badlands” design and colouration for the non-road sections, I’ve also found that it works both with “forest” and “jungle” foliage when I was playing around with my scenery, so once again that’s a positive. I could easily use this mat for 40k and it’s derivatives, Fantasy Battles/9th Age/Kings of War with fewer buildings, Age of Sigmar and other more densely built up fantasy skirmish like Mordheim and Frostgrave (if you play outside of the snow!) or Malifaux (in a sectioned-off area, or the smaller versions). I think this mat works very well for a variety of genres and a variety of scales. I didn’t set up a full 40k mock battle, nor any historical skirmish games because it literally takes hours to get out all of the stuff, set it up, photograph it and take it away for photos, but the actual AoS game being played on it shows it’s versatilty pretty well, along with those scale shots. And no, I’m not paid to say this and didn’t get a discount – if I were offered one I’d certainly accept it – as I accepted the stained Snow Territory 6’x4′ mat, but I’d also state it upfront in my reviews, as I did there. While I consider the quality of my models and terrain to be pretty solid, quite honestly the mat really does add to it. One thing that can’t be argued is that we had a good looking game of toy soldiers. I’m all for streamlined rulesets, but 4 pages is a bit much (or not enough!) I’m looking forward to trying out 40k 8th with 12 pages of core rules. Well, not the actual rules, but man-idiot Kirby’s insistence to the designers that everything fit on four pages in total. I’ll put a lot of that down to the rules. We made a bunch of mistakes, mostly due to not quite understanding all of the nuances and not reading warscrolls properly. This time, the game I’m using to showcase the mat is an Age of Sigmar clash between Dwarves and Ogres, set in an unnamed Old World city (because I can use the ruleset without the background!) We were trying out the rules, so it’s an actual game rather than a mockup. The overall colours and theme matches my bases once again, as the Urbanmatz Badlands mat did.Īs with the other mats I’ve gotten from Urbanmatz, the design is printed onto neoprene (mouse pad material) and is once again quite nice. ![]() After seeing several photographs of it online, I was sold. In the case of my Urbanmatz order, it was this mat. Often when I buy something from a company, there’s a “key” item that acts as an anchor for other stuff you then add-on. But today we’re looking at the Dirty Roads. I’ve got a bunch of Deep Cut Studios and products that I’ve also purchased that I will be photographing and writing reviews for shortly as well. ![]() Here’s the last of the first batch of my gaming mat reviews of Urbanmatz‘ products from the Czech Republic.
