The following link is to <b>mkhexgrid</b>, an open source software tool for creating customized hex graph paper with many options. I am particularly fond of the different numbering schemes. It is a little geeky but I think anybody can figure it out with a little tinkering. http://www.nomic.net/~uckelman/mkhexgrid/Aguy2014https://www.blogger.com/profile/16812288444297563912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-46996464494822390212014-05-20T23:23:49.677-04:002014-05-20T23:23:49.677-04:00I use 26*17 hexes.

It fits nicely on an A4 paper sheet and can be joined without overlap.Tamás Illéshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415717108941674663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-69510911094150570802013-12-13T12:05:10.859-05:002013-12-13T12:05:10.859-05:00For hexes with an even number of miles across you ...For hexes with an even number of miles across you have some options that work to give a clean sub map overlay.<br /><br />For example, ACKS uses 24 mile across strategic hexes that divide into a 4 across campaign hex of 6 miles across. You end up with fewer total hexes but the presentation is clean and attractive.<br /><br />That pattern continues down to 1 1/2 mile hexes.Nick Linerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914238550346892797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-76617964559570130042013-12-12T22:05:37.316-05:002013-12-12T22:05:37.316-05:00Thanks, Rob.
