Battle Maps
![LadieStorm](https://forum.profantasy.com/uploads/userpics/301/nHGOWB3NBS52H.jpg)
I'm not used to battle maps. I've never used them before as a GM, and as a player, none of my GM's have ever used them. But I've decided to try them out for my Larysia Campaign. I have at least one new gamer that has never dealt with gaming combat, and since I'm new to 5th edition, I thought it would make things a bit easier all the way around.
So I'm now experimenting on making some battle maps. I've made two forest based battle maps so far, and while they are probably 'rudimentary' at best, I think they will work for what I'm trying to do. I'm using a square grid to keep things simple... and I've tried two different grid concepts. One where the grid is completely visible, and one where the grid is partially obscured by the terrain. I actually did this on purpose, to help show advantage/disadvantage for terrain cover. I'm also just using the cc3+/cd3/dd3 with no annuals since I don't have any of those. Maybe someday...![:) :)](https://forum.profantasy.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Anyway, I'm hoping for suggestions on how to make these better, just please keep in mind I'm working with the basic set up with the two add ons.

Below is my first battle map attempt a few months ago. Its OK
But I'm still learning about the different sheets and what to put on which sheet. I think that's why I'm having g so much trouble... I also don't know how to import stuff, or how to use what I've imported....I've only had the programs about a month.
I will definitely have to get this tome, no matter what my hubby says!
