A very cheap sea mat

[Vagabond]

Mine arrived a couple of days ago and it's on the table to see if the creases drop out, but the hair dryer sounds a good idea, I did wonder about ironing it between 2 damp towels, not sure how that would work. Mrs V might not be happy with a plastic cloth melted into her towels. 

I've not had chance to lay any land or ships on it but I think it's going to be great for 28mm although maybe not so much for the much smaller scales 1/700 and smaller. But like Steve said its a lot cheaper than a  proper games mat and much better looking than the blue cloth I was using so £3:00 well spent.
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, Steve , just ordered one . I have a clear Perspex sheet which I use to place over board games maps , so I intend to do the same with this . It should flatten any folds , maybe with a couple of heavy books on top , overnight.

I bought a piece of crushed velvet for $20. It scintillates as you walk around it.

I've got a Chinese silk one; not too pricey in Asia. A local seamstress has embroidered it with a compass rose too.
