Western Mat - 3’x3’ Suggestions?

[Doug ex-em4]

No, not a character called Weatern Mat I’m looking for a Western-suitable play mat, 3’x3’ (90centimetresx90) preferably. Available in the UK before Christmas (it’s a present). Any ideas of make/supplier?

Thanks

While not a mat, if you can find a cheap picture frame of the size, you can make a rather decent one easily. Most of the cheap ones have an acrylic front, just rough it up and add a thin layer of super glue and a rough mix of sand over that while it's wet and more glue. When dry hit it with thinned brown ink, then a drybrush of a parchment color when it dries.

I’m a fan of Deep Cut mats - the last one I got was the Plains image which is good for dry arid games and I’ve used it for Wild West games (though I’m never sure how desert like they should be). Not sure if you will be able to order direct in that time frame - but I think they have some UK suppliers.

I recently picked up a mat from Geek Villain, it is double sided, Western town one side, farmstead on the other, nice quality and they make them in various sizes.
Tiny Wargames are another company worth looking at.

Thanks for the input. Eventually ordered a Deepcut Mat from Wayland Games. They will order it from Deepcut. It would have been a few quid cheaper to order it direct but without any real logic, it just seemed easier to order locally. Lead time is a few weeks so I’ll print out a photo of the mat and put that in an envelope to give my son on Christmas Day.
