Ruminations on wargaming, especially the Seven Years War, the English Civil War and other 'black powder' periods. Occasional forays into obscure Nordic music and opinionated 'dribble' [sic] on Grimsby Town Football Club.

Game mats
If you need one, Lidl are selling Artificial Grass Mats for £7.99 for a roll 100x200cm!
It is isn’t it. Two of them would cover most wargamers’ needs. I always have a look in the ‘middle of Lidl’, which is where they put the shelves with all the odd stuff that they supply, on a fairly unpredictable basis. I got some ‘spring green’ acrylic spray paint recently, to lighten my felt cloth. Chris
Good stuff - Aldi did them a few years ago too, in the good ol' middle aisle. I bought one - and have not used it! Chalk that up as 'It will come in handy one day..'
Wow - wish I could access them - that's a great price!

ReplyDeleteHas it stayed unused because you use a grid for games now, or is it because the mat is not very good?

Thanks for the tip Chris.
ReplyDeleteYou’re welcome Richard.
DeleteUmming and ah-ing whether to get a couple myself.
Chris
Ooo I'll go hunting? Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Ray. Be interested to see what you think of them in practice.
