I've bought myself a 6' x 4' desert aerial wargaming cloth from Deep Cut Studios, as a gift from my wife who leaves it to me to sort out the Xmas presents. This is something I've wanted to get for ages, as it has loads of potential uses including Desert Spitfires and Wings over Suez, for example. I can also deploy it for WW2 Western Desert aerial games, either with Wings at War or Bag the Hun using the hex less system, or even for ground warfare in 10mm or 6mm. At a push it might even work for my 15mm post-colonial Sandbox Skirmish project, although I'll have to check it out first. Perhaps the most interesting option will be to play out the Merry Xmas Mr Sankara campaign using the Wings at War rules and Tumbling Dice aircraft, which would be an excellent solo wargaming project for next year. Brilliant!
Very nice and very useful. Deep Cut Studios does some nice mats.
ReplyDeleteVery nice- a great present to yourself.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

It's a beautiful mat, I've used mine for Merry Christmas, Mr Sankara and Arab-Israeli battles 1967-73 and it has just the right depth and perspective for air battles. I'm still thinking one day I'll do the 1941 Anglo-Iraqi War using it - biplanes verses Messerschmitts - what could possibly go wrong?!
