Pasting the paper mats onto foam-board or mounting card is certainly an option, but as you have surmised I have loads of ground tiles that I can use in their place. I've become a big fan of maps made of the mouse-mat material and I have quite a collection of them for numerous genres and settings.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-91751299610396814142018-04-30T09:24:39.500+01:002018-04-30T09:24:39.500+01:00Much appreciated, Edu.

I'll post some photos of them on my blog to show you how exactly I've reinforced them. Believe me, it makes a world of difference and is well worth the extra effort.<br /><br />Soda Pop Miniatures and Ninja Division have angered a lot of people with their recent Kickstarters, including myself. It's not just "Rail Raiders" but also "Relic Knights", "Super Dungeon Explore: Legends" and "Way of the Fighter", not all of which I backed (thank God), but it is wrong to tar all Kickstarters with the same brush. Apart from the aforementioned RR and SDE:L I've never had any problems with any Kickstarter I've backed.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-72365616762014934582018-04-29T13:17:49.208+01:002018-04-29T13:17:49.208+01:00An interesting posting indeed, Bryan.

I own some of the Corvus Belli Infinity scenery packs and wasn't very impressed their flimsy card at all, so will be interested to know how you reinforced them.<br /><br />Ah... kickstarter. I'm still ticking over the "Rail Raiders" debacle tbh, so trying to steer clear of them presently. The latest "Zombicide" one does look superb imho, but I haven't yet exhausted my interest in the very first boxed game, so will be waiting for it to hit the shelves before I dip my toe in the sci-fi version.

The Zombicide franchise is a proven winner that always does well and always delivers on time. I absolutely love all of the Zombicide games and I play them a lot.

Though it looks pretty enough and is a no brainer for a Zombie junkie such as your good self, I don't think I'll be looking at it, much as I enjoy Zombicide as a game, I'm happy with just the basic box version, and as we only play it occasionally that does me. Also I not a fan of the whole Kickstarter thing anyway, I can see the point of them but perhaps I'm old fashioned in that if I pay for something I like it in my hand ASAP, It always amazes me when you read "my XXX kickstarter dropped through my letterbox this morning, I'd forgotten I backed this", How much money do these people have!!!<br /><br />Sorry rant over, best of luck with all your future projects.<br /><br />Cheers Roger.Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.com
