Hi Folks
My Cigar Box Battle 'Cold Water' map (http://cigarboxbattlestore.bigcartel...r-440-4x6-plus) arrived yesterday. Here are a couple of initial pictures:

At 6' x 4' it is a vast playing surface which will suit running battles well (less risk of "dogfighting" and/or sailing off the map as there is with the Ares original). The realistic ocean effect of the printed surface is very appealing.
A couple of downsides I've noticed: i) it came folded and creased so will need to be ironed to flatten it; ii) as it's 100% polyester ironing is not recommended so I will need to experiment with low temperature settings to ensure I don't melt it(!); iii) it doesn't come with storage, so I have had to buy something to store and transport it in good condition. I've elected to order a 6' x 4' 'Gaming mat storage and carrying bag' from Deep-Cut Studio (https://www.deepcutstudio.com/produc...te_pa_size=4x6) for an additional NZD 36.50 for this purpose.
I'm excited to play some scenarios on this mat and am now looking at my options for a Caribbean (doubles as Indian Ocean) mat to cover all eventualities.
