Wow Once you go Chessex battle map, you will never want to go back
Faux leather feel
Crossthreaded underneath
Huge beyond imagining - I play at a local gaming store and this map swamps that table
Hex one side, squares the other
Oddly pleasing feel to it
unfolds / unrolls pretty good and lies flat without much fuss
Only takes one type of pen, dry wipe I think. Yo get around my poor memory problems I just bought a plastic see through table cloth.
I love it
