So, I only own one flip mat so far, the Ship one. Many months ago I requested a GameMastery map-pack of ship decks that could be assembled into whatever size ship was necessary (I still would love something like that), but after getting the Ship flip mat I have a new idea.
A flip-mat of 3 ships, top deck level only. And here's the part that would make it extremely useful: have the map separated into 3 long strips, each deck plan on its own. The flip mats already fold into thirds, just have them pre-cut on those lines.
This way you could actually have a running sea battle, moving the ships independently of each other over another map (either the back of the current flip mat: Ship, or whatever is on hand). I have wanted to run a cool, full-on naval battle with miniatures, and this seems an economical way to pull it off. I'd love to be able to get a few Ravaged Prides, but I really can't even afford one.
Good idea? Bad? Just obsessed?
