I'd like to draft my maps by hand from now on. Especially for F&E due to the complexity. However, I can't find Hex Graph paper any where.

Any ideas on where I could find it?

What I could do for you is draft up a hex sheet on autocad, so it will be accurate, and send you the dwg file all you will need is a programme called voloviewer (which is a free download) or dwg to jpeg/gif comverter and you can print as many as you need (will A3 be ok?).

It used to be available in pads, with tear-off sheets. Try calling Game Parlor (Just across the border from you) and see if they have it there anymore. It will be a few days before I could get there to check.

On the other hand....

I have hex maps of the F&E map from the F&E game. I could send you one of those if you'd like.

Thanks Sochin, but if Scippy knows of a place where I can just run out and buy it, that seems easier for all.

Took the liberty of converting the drawing allready you can have it in either bmp or gif at A3.

A4 is the European standard for 8-1/2 by 11. It is slightly longer and slightly narrower.

That's because those darn europeans actually use the metric system and we don't.

+1 for American obstinancy

A3 would be the equivalent to 11x17" Tabloid, whereas A4 the equivalent to 8.5x11" Letter.

The don't seem to have a 8.5x14" Legal format tho...
