Daily Chronicle: FLG Mats Grasslands 1 4x4

Back on my post for the NOVA Open recap, I had mentioned that I purchased a new 4x4 gaming mat from TableWar Designs while I was there.  Actually he did not have the mat in stock with him, so he offered me free shipping from his warehouse.   When I got back home, I received an email on the 5th that my item has shipped with a tracking number, awesome.  I was tracking it all week and the status was still just "shipping labeled created".  This past Monday I emailed TableWar to check on the status, it turns out they only had 1 mat left and it was damaged.  So I had then cancelled my order and was given a refund (it was going to be mid October before they received anymore).

I then went to the Frontline Gaming website and took a look at some of their mats.  I recently purchased a 3x3 for BMG from them not long ago and I knew they had a lot of choices to choose from.  I found one that was pretty close to the Grassy Green that I ordered from TableWar and placed my order with Frontline Gaming.  Let's hope there are no issues with this order.

Here is the mat I ordered from Frontline Gaming.

BMG: Gothic City Terrain (First Purchases)

As I mentioned in this past Monday’s post on my GenCon review  I came across the 4Ground vendor area and I had to stop and look around for some of their Gothic City line of buildings.  I have been meaning to purchase some of their buildings since AdeptiCon back in March, but with 4Ground being a UK company, I knew shipping would take awhile and honestly I just never got around to ordering any.

The main reason I have been looking at 4Ground is that their building are all pre-painted MDF, all you have to do is snap the pieces out and glue them all together.  It will save me a lot of time getting the board up and ready.  A few months ago I had already purchased a gaming mat from Frontline Gaming (City Mat) and a few barricades from Miniature Market, all I needed were some buildings and then I can finally get in a demo game of BMG.

The selection of Gothic City was pretty slim at GenCon, I am not sure if they just did not bring as much (though the other lines they carried took up most of their vendor space) or they were just already sold out by the time I was there on Sunday.  I purchased what I could, which was 3 buildings and 1 container.

As I build each Gothic City building, I will try to take a few pics during the process and get those posted also..  I am hoping that this weekend I may get some time to actually start building these.
