Pictures of your ships on that mat would be **** cool...

Yeah I really want to get some, today wasn't ideal... We were on a 2x6 board so it wasn't properly laid out.

Beautiful. Wish I could get one easier here.

Glad those of you that have one so far are enjoying them :) I've got a few more available on ebay now: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261319884217 - and another batch being printed. Should also have a new design finished and ready to go to print in a couple of days.

Just got the e-mail and ordered, cheers Hudson.

I'll book a courier to pick it up on Monday...cheers!

Sneak Peak at the new Design, Please!

As you command...

There's actually two planet based images I've been working on, and after spending most of today locked in my hole and shouting at my computer screen, I've almost finished them. I can probably only afford to get one of these designs mass printed to begin with (depending on how closely guarded the wife's credit card is :ph34r: ) so any suggestions on which one I should go for first are welcome...

First up..the Red Planet..

And secondly...what I like to call...Orbital Strike...

I kinda hate you now. :(

These are flipp'n gorgeous.

Save one for me for X-mas...this what I want

Ever considered a 4'x3' mat with 6" on either side for cards and pieces and stuff?

Don't worry I'll get Santa to drop you one off.

Yeh I have considered it. I guess I've been in two minds about it, on the one hand it is a nice feature, but on the other is it something that people are going to want to pay that bit extra for...I'm sure at some point though I will get around to doing one as it is something thats been mentioned a few times.

Any idea when you will have the other 2 available for purchase? I'm dying to get the red planet one. Will eventually pick up all 3 at some point though.

Hopefully in the next two weeks. Just need to get a test copy of both of them printed, once i've checked those and happy the prints come out ok i'll order some in to get up on ebay. Hoping to have them up on amazon as well soon enough.

Ok...so there's been a bit of a gap in getting things sorted with the new mat design as I've been laid up sick for a bit...but I'm back and things are rock 'n' rolling. The prototype of the new mat came back from the printers and in my opinion I think it's come out really nice, couple of pics of it for you...

Just noticed theres a bit of a weird green tinge to a couple of those photos :huh: the first image shows the colour correctly.

Got some of the guys at my flgs to give it a test drive and see what they thought...here's a nice blurry shot from my phone...

Got some really good positive feedback on it and I watched that squad of TIE-Bombers rip it's way through everything that was thrown at it that day.

So...I've got a batch of these ordered and they should be arriving at the beginning of next week. I've also got more copies of the Deep Space mat coming at the same time since these have sold out again on eBay.

Hopefully they'll both be available on Amazon as well as eBay when they do come.

So excited to get these. When you get the orbital strike one done too, I will take one of each.

I am waiting on mine... but it is just like this one. You can order them by emailing them at [email protected]. The guy who runs the project is starting to ship the mats right now - and I know they have a bunch coming to the EU. Several pallets, maybe you can jump on board still?

Heres a cool pic from the BGG review... man I can not wait to get this!
