So I wanted some way to make random battle maps in hex. Here is what I have come up with.
I need to trim them a little better so they will fit more smoothly. Printed on 300 gsm cardstock.
The triangles on the edges are hooks. You just hook the hexagons together to form your map. I still have not decided which map style I want to use. I may have to wait until I get Cosmographer 3 to make the final decision. I will be using these primarily for Planetarystrike campaigns for Warhammer 40,000

( Gee, I hope that worked, that was my best Roger Rabbit imitation.)
The hooks on the ends was started by Ebbles Miniatures in his paper models. several people have started to use them in their commercial products so I thought it would not hurt to use them for my tiles.
I save the image as a PNG at H=3508 and W=2480 so it will fit on an A4 sheet at 300 dpi.
Then I use a hobby knife and cut them out. For the triangles on the sides I make a cut from the centre going towards the right on ALL of them. This makes it like a hook so it will hook with the other hexes and secure them together into a sheet.
I'll ... well, work has gotten busy, hopefully eventually I'll be able to make some floor tiles and do the same. Hopefully, my result will match my old floor tiles. Which are 1 inch equals 10 feet. I have some scans on Crestar.
