Total System Scenic still seems to be in operation: https://totalsystemscenic.com/product-category/modular-tile-system-small-tiles/

There are also plenty of recent video tutorials on how to make your own.

While this firm makes something similar albeit with MDF:

To be fair, although I've said good riddance to them, I still have them - I just put my fleece mats over the top of them!

Bickering and pedantic gamers. I'm pretty certain that 1mm will not make a difference to a game.

Newbury Fast Play rules always amused me. I feel something was lost in translation when they were deciding on what to call the rules.

I did play one game with them.

It took 18 months to play

I used them quite a lot in the early '80s. We even ran a mini-campaign at the Basingstoke club with them, from memory, but with small, reduced points size armies. Too many plus and minus factors for my liking 🙃. If these were Fast Play, I certainly didn't fancy picking up their regular 'non fast play' rules...
