Scale for new maps?

Post by blond_knight_new »

Generally what scale should we use when creating maps? 1 hex = 1 mile?
Id like to create a small Remagen scenario to tinker with that would just 30x22 hexes. Thats based on the map snip from google maps I saved and am using as an overlay.

well, that's ridiculous. There goes making larger scenario's on a operational or strategic level.

Hi Lion,
I ask Vic the same thing, but the 1km scale is linked to the the ground levels, the reaction fire and line of sight.
With a bigger scale we lost all these new features and we have again the DC Community Project.

anyone thought about making a modern scenario, say, the battle of Bakhmut in Ukraine or any other modern scenario?
