Very handy!

 


I had two great gaming finds last weekend. Firstly in The Range, I found these rubber matts, they're kinda the same ones I bought before.


Which I used to make the snowy roads for my and Lee's Retreat from Moscow shenanigains.
 I was moaning to myself that I originally only bought two and that I should have bought more, mainly because I didn't make a T junction.


Well now I have! I bought myself another two for £3.49 each. Then while queing up at the tills I went back for another two.....just incase!!


Then I picked this up from Lidl. For £7.99


An artificial grass mat.


It measure's out at 1m x 2m.
It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but its not bad for under a tenner

So go get yourselves a bargain!
Ray

      I'm always on the lookout for bargains that you can turn into wargaming items.

    Great stuff Ray - I have been going to get some artificial grass for YEARS - still on the "to do" list though!

    The artificial grass is a great idea and I'll be interested to see how the roads turn out.

    Nice work Ray, I do find the artificial grass a bit too green most of the time ?

    Great price for mat and could probably tone down the green with dry brushing

    The green mat looks like a particularly good buy. Games at your place?

    I am off to Lidl tomorrow...my whole wargames set up is under a load of furniture and stuff while the extension is being built. I am months away from a gaming mat until now!
