Title: Game cloth for TCR

I have ordered this and think it is good value and nice looking.
I am not sure how nice the surface would be but I will review it when it arrives.

I have ordered one of these

Will be interesting to see how it looks up close. Went for the size to fit TCR'ish (100 x150cm) so may have slightly narrower end squares but closer enough. Overall not bad for £3.48 (inc p&P).  If its not u toscratch no great loss.

That size would certainly be good Derek.
Your link needs a bit more narrowing too.
We had better have a TCR day at Entoyment or even Southampton.


Southampton day club is 2nd August. Do you want to play there and then?

I can't see the size of this one Martin?

They do hide it.
I cannot figure out why though?
Maybe it is only allowed/authorised to be used  on "official" games of that rule system.
I think it is 6x4. If not I am in trouble and tears.
I would rather a geek villain version but their website has a lot of "out of stock" notices. Entoyment has stopped stocking them mainly for that reason.

I would offer that producing wargames mats is not the most complex manufacturing activity (maybe it is?), despite  lots of evidence to the contrary.

Fortunately, buying a mat is a singular activity. Therefore further mats are not crucial. Although quite annoying if you wanted to match or share.
Maybe there is a good business  opening for a producer of mats that can.

Sounds good to me Martin. ON the calender.

Martin, perhaps you could confirm the mat size once you receive it. Perhaps we'll all order one then.

It looks to be 42" x 24" Martin, i think champions is thir new lower figure count game, but i'm not up on kings of war to be honest!

Yep, I had to look it up - 24" x 42", as Ben mentions.
Might be an option for a few different game systems I dabble in ...

I will certainly report back.
Maybe I have been gullible.
Luckily I can send it back if the company is honest and follows the online trading rules. Most don't though.

The adventure begins.
