Scenario Design 101 - Art of War #4 Map Making Part Three

[Banjo]

Great to hear that it's still available online. I had trouble finding it again. Glad the copy made it to you Bill. You have to find the size of the map horizontally in miles or kilometers, from edge to edge. Then enter the size hexes you want, and run the program. It's pretty simple. Then you need to check to make sure that the hexes are the proper size. I try to make sure that on the map scale, there are about 6.4 hexes per mile. I have to look up the conversions for miles to km. I know it's .64, but I thinke to get the map to be more accurate, you need to take it out another few decimal points. especially on large maps where your converting 20 to 40 miles to km. Being a carpenter, when we lay out walls or plumb walls, a sixteenth of an inch per foot off doesnt sound like much. When you are working with several feet, it really adds up and can be noticable to the eye sometimes. Lets work with this and compare notes. We work half days some saturdays so I have to get out and build some walls this morning. Good luck and thanks for the info. I'll check it out and see if they added some new featues since I downloaded it last.
