[QUOTE="greyscale1, post: 4208917, member: 65303"] I actually find myself mapping out my battlegrids in a totally different way. Sorry if this is an excursion from what the thread was talking about (I'm really suprised no one has mentioned this yet) I use large drafting supply paper, 11x18 1inch gradiated graph paper. Most encounters and dungeon rooms will fit on one of those pieces of paper, and you can go nuts with the details if you are so inclined (pre-game, of course, no assembly or waiting around required). I like this because it allows me to use color and include all the features I want, clearly mark elevations, difficult terrain, cover, trap/trap related things (path of a boulder). So the PCs end up on a complex and dynamic battlemat without having to wait for me. For outdoor battles or battles in LARGE areas with no real distinctive terrain (that cant be easily described) I use a green cutting mat. You cant write on it, but its pleasantly sturdy and has a nice grid. [/QUOTE]
