So I saw a link to these gaming mats on facebook. Unfortunately they cost almost as much to ship to the UK as the mats themselves cost.

Would any UK based goons (South-East preferably I suppose for distribution logistics) be interested in sharing the cost of a 4-pack shipping deal? It works out at $40 shipping per mat rather than $70 if shipping singly.

Have a (beretless) new Tokusetsu instead:

It's actually absurdly simple, and it really looks a lot better than the regular 'flat' battlemats

Base was 12" cork floor tiles. I bought these at Wickes (UK home improvement/builder's merchant) - GBP8.99 for a pack of 9
The foam was regular craft foam with a adhesive backing. - Hobbycraft sells these at GBP0.80 per A4 sheet
A4 label paper was generic brand from Staples - GBP14.99 for 100 sheets

I got the texture off someone on Data Sphere - it's a 4x4 foot square meant to be sent for banner printing. I rotated it (the original texture had the roads parallel to the board edges, and I wanted them diagonal) and divided a single 2'x2' section into 6" squares

I print 1 square per A4 paper, and cut them out. I sliced the roads out separately from the pavements. Pavements are stuck on the foam, which is then stuck to cork. The roads are stuck directly to the cork. It can get a bit fiddly to align everything, but I discovered that if there's any big gaps, I could just print off a 'patch' from that area which will blend in almost seamlessly.

Took about 1 hour for that 1'x1' piece. Now only 3 more to go for a basic board.

Picked up a box of Kuang Shi on a whim, and while they look pretty neat, I've been using Monks as my quick and dirty horde model as they come with the bonus of having smoke grenades.

Is there any situation where they're preferable? I guess they can provide regular orders, but with impetuous, I'm thinking they're still going to die too quickly to supply those for long. I like the monks since I basically get two orders on them to just lay down some smoke and cause a bit of a distraction as they zip up the board. Dogged sounds cool, and I've been hosed by cheap dogged chain riflers before, but I really like smoke in an army that has plenty of MSRV options. I don't think I'd ever run both since there's just too much poo poo to keep a track of.

Welp, pack it in. Back to wondering why this box was necessary.

So we just played our 3rd game of the escalation league, and it introduced the joys of hacking. My Alguacil hacker crit her first ever hacking roll. Let's just say my opponent's Tikbalang ended up being the MVP. For both sides.
