    It seems that the spacey, starry designs are more desirable among our wargaming customers. For some reason, every time I look at this mat design I feel like I’m watching the beginning of a Star Wars movie. I’m just waiting for the words STAR WARS to suddenly appear in big yellow letters to the rhyme with its famous intro theme. Anyone else? I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what the designer, Flinxz, was going for when they first crafted Stars. However, the true genius behind this mat design lies in its simplicity. No flashy colors or complex patterns. Just an ocean of glistening stars, which is all you need if you’re planning to do battle in space.

    Flinxz’s Stars is available on two (2) different size wargaming mats, which are:

    • 36” x 36”
    • 48” x 48”

    Because of its design and massive size, this is another wargaming mat that is ideal for games like Star Wars: Armada, X-Wing Miniatures, Battlefleet Gothic and any other games that call for an outer space setting/backdrop.


    5. Red Starfield
