In one of those moments of boredom tried had a go at doing a hex pattern sheet.

Would anyone be interested in these?

Hexes are 44-45mm across the points/39mm across flats.

It might be worth posting this on a few of the main Battletech sites such as LOTB and BTU, some gamers still prefer to use a hex grid playing surfaces.

Your a bit large for battletech but I suspect you were going for decorative other then game play. Battletech bases are 1.25" but a hex pattern for gaming would be more like 1.5" I think that is the size that the printed maps use.

Could be a nice replacement to those GHQ scenery tiles if they were all split up individually.

could do them cut out as individual, the price would be higher than sheet as involve a fair amount of cutting.

Easy enough to resize hex pattern for b-tech/other games use.

These might be good for folks porting Command & Colours to the tabletop.

How about 4" hexes for Ogre miniatures games?

Mad Mecha Guy12 Feb 2014 3:59 a.m. PST

Reference the orge game, is that 4" across flats or across points?

No wonder that orge box was so darn big at cavalier books!!

Would be great for both Gladiator games and Aeronef/Sky Galleon games (they tend to use hexes)

MMG, the Ogre maps utilize 1.5" hexes. I suspect the 4' query takes into account the massive size of the actual Ogre miniatures (the cybertanks, not the line as a whole).

Another good measurement might be the 1.75" (44mm) format that Heroscape uses/used. Many people, including myself, use that for terrain for other gaming needs.
