I'm working on a set of rules to be played on a Memoir '44 style hex mat, 9 hexes by 13 hexes. I am not too swift at creating shapes on the PC. Does anyone know where I can copy/download a jpeg of blank hexes? It would make scenario maps and examples a lot easier. Thanks in advance.

Check out this nifty little program:

I suggest using PNG or another format that supports transparency, otherwise you'll have either jagged edges or artifacts.

There's also this website but it only makes PDF files.

Gimp has some great hex plugins. It's how we do our overlays for the fabric mats. Not sure what the name is but I a quick gimp hex grid google search will get you there.

Cherno, that PDF site was just the thing. I downloaded a PDF and then saved it as a jpeg, erased the few extra hexes and voila!

Thank you.
