June 13th, 2008
: We
are currently running slightly behind schedule, but we are working
extra hours to catch up once again. This is usually the tail
end of the busy season but this year has been busier than previous
years. We also produce other products (Roman Seas, Whitewash
City, Paper Places, etc) as well as well provide graphic services
to various publishers and ad agencies within North America.
All of our endeavors have been very busy this year and as a
result, we are running behind slightly with our production.
As stated previously, we are working extra hours (example: We
are working through this weekend, like all previous weekends
starting in mid-March) so we will be caught up once again shortly.

Mat is only $35.99 USD, and when combined with a hex/square
grid, the price is $39.99 USD.

Mat shown is an early prototype: current Snow Field game mats
use Ice White silk screened hexes/squares (very nice looking!).
All Hotz Mats are treated with Fabric Binder, which strengthens the game mat's surface while preserving the felt's natural flexibility.

March 11th,
2008: We have had a number of customers order game mats
(European Fields, Desert Brown and Earth Green) with 1.5 inch hexes
for use with Osprey's new tabletop wargaming rules: Field of Glory ancients/medieval
rules. Although the rules do not specify hex game mats for play, our customers
have told us that our 45 x 72 inch game mats with 1.5 inch hexes is a perfect match for these new tabletop wargaming rules.

January 27th,
2008: Three new game mats have been released: These are
the long awaited: 1 inch hex mats, 1 inch square grid mats and the
4 inch square grid mats. The 1 inch hex mats are ideal for "Skirmish"
gaming (ie Wild West, WWII, medievals, etc. where the individual miniatures
are mounted onto 1 inch, or smaller bases) and can be added to any
of our currently available game mats: Mars Red, Sea Blue, Western
Town mats, Earth Green, Desert Brown, European Fields and Deep Space,
or even custom mat designs such as Snow Fields, D-Day mat, Blue Sky,
etc.

October 18th:
Hotz ArtWorks (Hotz Mats) has been moved to a new studio. We were originally planning to move our print studio to a new location at the end of October,
but because of various problems that came up, none of which were in our control, we were forced to move earlier. We completed the move on the 15th of October,
and this also included moving our graphic studio as well. As of October 15th, both our graphic and print studios are located in the same
studio, which makes things a lot easier. Our new studio is also located within easy travel distance of where we live so we have eliminated the one
one commute to work each day (this is a very good thing).
