New Mats

By Audio Weasel, in X-Wing

Oh well I guess I will just make do with the map I already have, with interactive terrain features in scale with the ships (sort of).

PS: These are the right scaled AT=ATs.... proof is here:

Errrr .... NO

there's too much clutter on that map, will make it hard to see tokens and other stuff unless they're acrylic.

Came here anticipating dislike of the mats. Was not dissatisfied.

Just talking to my gaming buddies about these.

I've already got the four current mats, I've got the Admiral level System Open ticket that will get me the mat for that and there's no way I'll be able to resist these. That's seven mats I'll have. I don't even have a table at home so when the *** am I ever going to use 7 mats?!

Stack them all on top of one another for a luxurious, super squishy game of X-wing.

Excellent a T-47 airspeeder in wave XI to go with the other atmospheric ship just introduced.

Title Card T-47 only, 0 points, Dual card: "Make sure you closed that F*****g vent!" Flip this card before moving into the space area of the Hoth mat otherwise instant Death!

Atmosphere side: gain 1 green dice

Space side: not dead.

Not to mention asteroids will look jarring and make no sense as part of an atmospheric battle.

I also find the black starfield ship bases to clash too much with ground or atmosphere mats.

No asteroids. . .now you have to fly around skyscraper tops.

I would use that as a map! :lol:

I'm very disappointed in the hoth map. I feel we are too close to the surface. Especially for obstacle placement... Maybe if we were further away....

As for Starkiller, I feel too far away. Oh boy...

Where is my Alderaan mat?

To soon man... too soon....

Just use the star field map with each player using all six asteroid tokens!

I read this as New Meta for some reason

New Mata?

Where is my Alderaan mat?

It was blown up

One of these daze... Oh Glory... Immah have this scene done in 3D. I do not use any of the FFG mats because I play on a 5x7 table. I need the extra room for my BIS-ASS-GAMES.

:lol:

I use 3D terrain which is fun if you magnetize it so you can move it as needed without taking away the templates. I can't just play a game as is... Hel-Nah... I have to mess with it and fix it up sums. Been play'n these things for thirty years so...

:ph34r:

I ask myself: Why would FFG not make a perfectly scaled Hoth mat now if they were actually working on ground game expansion for X-wing (that won't be perfectly scaled)- for a future release? Even if they weren't secretly doing the ground game- I'm sure the mat would look the same.

I now realize that most of the Hoth-haters are bummed cuz it doesn't match their home-brew ground game dream or doesn't even facilitate a ground game very well at all. I think a Hoth playmat would be really crappy if it didn't show the walkers and the Rebel base. But how would a completely white mat with a little hill here and a ridge over there look? And the issue of complaining about scale. LMFAO! How can you figure out scale with a fictional planet with NOTHING on the mat to compare to even calculate a rough idea of scale. How big is Hoth? I dunno, I don' care.

These are pieces of art...and most adults should know that EVERYONE has DIFFERENT tastes...and FFG is catering to all of their consumers. SO saying something is "ugly" rather than "I don't like it" is kinda childish. My apologies to any children reading this.

(Note: I have the Bespin and Star-field mats and I don't have any want or need for any other planets or scenes UNLESS it's a trench-run, but I won't complain if the trench is too short or the color is not what I remember from the movies or the cannons are too small, bla bla bla. :P )

...mean-ass...

surprised they haven't made a death star trench map. i know others have. seriously make it an expansion complete with little laser towers!!

Because those tend to be a headache to play on. Few things are worse in my experience!

I like Hoth, because it suits the GR-75 campaign well.

EA gets it. Check out this beautiful, and official rendition of Hoth:

If they wanted to zoom in, why couldn't they have dome something like this:

AT-ATs could be just recognizable specs, instead of looking like they're the size of the largest mountains.

That looks much better than what we get, here:

While I agree that the second image you showed does look cool and honestly would've been a sweet way to do the Death Star II mat, you won't get an AT-AT as a "recognizable spec." The best thing you MIGHT get recognizable would be the Ion Cannon battery and MAYBE the echo base shield generator, but that's even pushing it.

That fine line between fan-service and pandering.

In an Epic game where there are 2-3 combat zones with hyperjump links!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner
