[QUOTE="Nebulous, post: 7899387, member: 31465"] Well, I had both the battlemap books arrive in the mail today. At first blush, I like the Immersive Battle Maps better than the Giant Book of Battle Mats, but they are similar. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/M9dHgb1.jpg[/IMG] IBM comes as a heavy as crap coffee table hardback approximately 63 pages. It is very heavy, printed on thick hard card stock. GBoBM is a lighter weight (but still heavy) wirebound book approximately 62 pages. It is thinner than the Immersive Battle Maps because the paper is not as thick. Both are glossy dry erase material. I do think the art for the IMB is a little better than the wirebound book. The images are a little crisper and more engaging, with less generic maps. The way the book unfolds it lays pretty flat. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/SiLiJn3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/x1OQMZa.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/in5xZdr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/4zb9x9i.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/TZSWRNZ.jpg[/IMG] The wirebound Big Book of Battle Mats is good too but feels slightly more generic than the former. There's maybe 10 sheets that are just blank terrain. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/K13zBvp.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/BKoj0IK.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/nkgshc1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/MSWiF21.jpg[/IMG] [img]https://i.imgur.com/kiH4zkL.jpg[/img] The Yarrow Studios Immersive Battle Maps I would have to say is a little better, but they are both useful. I do like the 2D tokens that came with the Yarrow maps, but I think the other ones have something similar. Both sets I believe also feature Sci-Fi maps (or will soon if not already). [/QUOTE]
