Unboxing - Warzone Studio Battle Mats

I get my hands on few battle mats from Russian company Warzone Studio - At the start, I must say that even though it is an company outside EU, everything went duty-free and even the basic postage has tracking, which is automatically updated in the mail.  And the whole trasnit took about two weeks, and the "production and packaging" took a little over a week.

Transport/carry bag.

It is interesting that the mats do not come in a "classic tube" but instead in such an elegant bag, which is already included in the price. Why not - at the end for carrying in a backpack/sport bag, its probably better than a tube. The 4x4 matt fit into the bag without any problems, the 8x4 had a bit of an "inflated wallet" effect.

Meadows

I bought Meadows (Your generic green field), Vernal Grass (Grass with snow - ideal for playing when one of the players has a based army in the snow and the other does not, thanks to this mat both armies somehow fit together on the table), Crossroads (Rocky green field with inbuilt roads), Deserted Heart (ordinary desert with small pond and stone tiles part for building). 

Vernal Grass

And in terms of quality, I'm satisfied. The print is high quality, in high resolution, with sharp details that the flowers are visible in the grass - even in about 28 mm scale.

Also the Crossroads mat is with a roads  made with a lot of small details and it creates an effect that you just can't create with "minirolls of mats" of individual paths.

Its also nice that 28mm houses "looks right" scalewise next to the road way and it has the "right size" for a black poweder era game, where a column with a front of four guys just fits on the road perfectly. Only down is fact that only the "dusty field path" will also work on smaller scales than 28 mm, but the stone path have too big stones at first glance to be used in smaller scales battles.

Deserted Heart pond.

On the desert map, I was most interested in the fact that there is already a pre-prepared mini oasis with a pond. Just break up the tents around, a few trees and a nice visual focal point for the game is done.

In addition to playing Congo / Colonial games, I also bought it for playing 6mm antiquity and I must say that from my point of view, it looks great even on this small scale.

In conclusion, I must say that I am really satisfied with the quality - the mats have a good surface, quality printing, fast delivery and more than friendly prices. If we compare them with, for example, the Czech Gamemat known well in the EU, then the 8x4 mat from Warzone Studio will come out at 2/3 of the price of the 6x4 pad from Gamemat, in completely comparable quality.

If you are interested in Warzone Studio, do not be afraid to buy your battle mat. In addition to classic generic fantasy / historical maps, they also have specials for Scifi or really nice sea mat.
