Christened my new large battle mat today with four-player DBM game; 500 point armies, 28mm figures.

The equivalent of seven DBA armies on each side.

That is an impressive display.

Yes there is something about having about having a lot of figures on the battlefield.

Nice looking game Jon. What are the table 'tiles'? Are they carpet tiles that you've 'decorated' or are they bespoke? They look good. Where are the camels? ;D

Just carpet off-cuts, with S&A Scenics bushes.  Sorry, no camels (other than in the Assyrians' baggage).

John GL, great photos, figures and report via link and playing mat .... I thought I recognised the design [as in your comment in linked report "my new giant battle mat for an 8' x 5' table. Bought from Simon Miller's BigRedBat store"] as I have bought that design in couple of sizes with grid for TtS games!

It's a splendid mat.  More impressive than it appears in the photographs - acres of space.  Highly recommended.

Great looking mat and nice to christen it with massed 28mm chariots.

Congratulations to the Assyrians for the win.
