Hex board

There was actually another side effect of the original way. It would have been impossible to push people out of bounds without having a 3rd player involved.

Good call.

I knew you were on the BBRC for a reason.

I wonder how hard Galak would laugh if I asked him to program the PBeM tool to use this!

Like I said before, anyone who wants this PM me your addy and I'll send out a group message this weekend.

I like it, but you might want to remove the endzone hexes in the lower left and upper right corner.

You could use different shades of green to mark out which hexes are in the sidelines and endzones (make out of bounds black) allowing you to straighten the white lines. It would look more like a normal pitch then.

yep seen it today - not as pretty as Munkey himself but very good

Cant wait to try it and see what happens. Had a mad conversation about this last week - could clean up issues with the range ruller which has always been a pants system. 1st Ed game with distance count between points was far better than the 3.2 square ruller!

Yeah not sure where this is going but sure will get a game in on it soon.

This is the last version for awhile...unless I can find a better pic of the turn counter areas.

Again, if you want the full size version PM me your email address.

Thanks for that. I've just got Kinkos to print one for me and it looks great. I hope I can give it a test drive this weekend.

This looks like a lot of fun

Don't know if I'll ever get around to trying it, but anyone who does should definitely post their feedback here.
Good job.

Several neat extras about a hex map:

It makes defense against OTS easier.
It eliminates the need for a range-ruler.
It eliminates the need for the D8 (scatter).

Wow - it could be really fun to try out.
Cheers

Does it? You still need to see who is eligible for intercepts. And is 3 hexes down and one to the right the same distance 'as the ball flies' as 4 squares down?

Hi Mordredd,
I think counting squares would be close enough.
But you're right - that wouldn't handle interceptions.

Cheers

i wonder how mordheim would work on hexes? terrain would be a little messy, but would it be do-able?

Interesting idea. I've always thought Mordheim felt a little bit scruffy and vague, maybe hex movement would clear that feeling up a bit.
