1490 Doom Battle Mat
Climb, or the fog takes you
A double-sided 24x24" round neoprene mat built for 1490 Doom: Cobbleheim on one side, Deep Forest on the other. It's in production. Sign up and we'll email you the moment it's ready to order.
The world is going under
1490 Doom is a skirmish game from BUER Games set the year the Creeping Death rose: a toxic fog that kills livestock, spoils harvests, and drives everyone left toward high ground. Cities are gone. Forests stand skeletal. What's left are castles, ruins, and towers, and the warriors desperate enough to fight over them.
Two Doom Companies of three fighters each scavenge resources and claw for control of a tower. Setup takes about three minutes, a game runs 30 to 45, and named warriors, Scouts, Scavengers, Brutes, Fighters, and Assassins, carry their own scars into the next match. Missions like "The Rising Mist" put you on the wall in turn one.
Why we're building these round
Built around the tower
1490 Doom is fought over one piece of high ground in the middle of the board. A circular mat puts the fight where it belongs and drops the dead corners.
Double-sided, twice the table
The mat prints two full designs on one piece of neoprene: Cobbleheim on one side, Deep Forest on the other. Flip it and you've got a new fight.
Same neoprene, same standards
1.5mm neoprene, sublimation printed so the color sits in the material. Lies flat out of the box, quiet under dice, survives a full campaign.
Flip it over
One side is worn cobblestone crossroads and narrow alleys. Flip it for thick leaf litter and dense undergrowth, deep forest floor. Same mat, two very different battlefields.

Questions
What is 1490 Doom?
A skirmish game from BUER Games. Two players each run a three-fighter Doom Company scavenging resources and fighting for control of a tower in a world being swallowed by a toxic fog called the Creeping Death. Games run 30 to 45 minutes. Read more on BUER Games' site.
What are you actually making?
One 24x24" round neoprene mat, double-sided. Cobbleheim on one side, Deep Forest on the other. Two full battlefields on one mat, for $44.99.
Why round instead of square?
1490 Doom is built around a single central objective, the tower, so a circular mat matches how the game is actually played and cuts the unused corners a square board would have.
When can I order?
It's in production now. We don't have a firm ship date yet. Sign up and it'll be the first thing you hear when one is set.
Is this an official BUER Games product?
No. Skirmish Mats is an independent company making mats sized and themed for 1490 Doom. See the note below for the full disclaimer.
The tower won't hold itself
