I think?) that had my DM swearing a blue streak until he finally realized the written descriptions only made sense if the map was seen as having 7-and-a-half foot squares!My problem with 5' squares is that it takes too many of 'em to cover a big room (a cavern 100' x 120' ends up looking like a fine-grain sieve), yet mappers never think to highlight every other line to allow easier by-10's counting.And 25mm scale has, sadly, long since died out.  It's 28mm now, if not larger - modern Gnome minis are as big as old-time Human minis.  Annoying when half your character pieces are in one scale and half in another.</blockquote>
