Looks great  :-bd

I'll have a look at Tiny at their sea mats, as I require one at some point for 1/600 ACW coastal.

Does Imperial Skies (rules) have anything to allow them be to be used Solo? Or would I need to figure something out myself? As I've always loved the models and the idea but doubt I'd get an opponent.

Roy,
It's alternate ship activation and fast play, so yes, solo would work well (and I think there are solo files on their Facebook page from the pandemic era too).

I've had a really bad experience with Tiny. They seem from what has been posted online to be like the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead - when they are good they are very, very good but when they are bad they are horrid!

Caveat emptor!

PWorks and Geek Villain also do nice mats.

Lord Speedy and Ithoriel, thanks for the information.

Stuart (Col. Bills) has a Tiny games mat iirc, but he would have picked his up at a show - so saw before he bought. He's the only person I know of, to speak to in person, regarding Tiny. So very useful to get your take on them Ithoriel.

Lord Speedy. I'll take a gander over on FB.

Great to see Imperial Skies getting an outing.  It's been a long while since my son and I have had a chance to play this.
