Double sided Battlemats were first made available in 2002. They come with squares on one side and a hex grid on the reverse.
The specially-made vinyl features an eye-pleasing oyster color and made in such a way so as to give a flat surface for writing. Using water-soluble overhead-projection pens (NOT dry erase, grease pencil, or permanent markers), you can write on the vinyl and remove it later with water when the drawing is no longer needed.
There are a variety of patterns available in three sizes of mats:
26” x 23½” (66cm x 60cm) Battlemat™; 34½” x 48” (88cm x 122cm) Megamat™, and 102” x 54” (259cm x 137cm) Mondomat™.
Note: For best care of your mat always wipe clean with water immediately after use to avoid any permanent staining.
