I just don’t get it...why would they make a 2D map filled with terrain for their minis game that relies on 3D terrain for LOS, cover, and so on? And why are they still only doing 3x3 mats? $80 is excessive for one playing surface...so much I don’t understand.

At least, with a ground based miniatures game, the mat is the least needed item to play the game.

Yikes. Those are really not very pretty.

Since when is a battlefield pretty?

These makes more sense for x-wing than legion?

I did. That's a good start but they need things like buildings and foliage to go on sale before the mats.

Building, I agree with. Star Wars has well established architectural designs unique to different planets that would be good to cover. Using 40k inspired gothic ruins to try to have a battle on Tatooine just wouldn't work.

Rocks, foliage and similar (other than maybe a sarlacc pit) however, are pretty generic and can be found from many sources, already.
