[QUOTE="Foxen, post: 4372306, member: 71674"] Here's an alternative idea for a battlegrid...especially if you're into 1" squares. You can purchase an "easel" pad worth of paper pre-marked with 1" square for probably around $10 or so. Disposable, 50 sheets at a time, etc. I actually made my own grids with 1.25" (since the onset of the slightly larger bases by Privateer Press, MageKnight, Heroscape, etc.) by purchasing a newsprint pad (for about $10 for 50 sheets) and using a T-Square and ruler, making several sheets then taping it together. I also purchase some colored cardstock (67lb, although I normally use 110lb white cardstock)...and printed out 1.25" grids using tables in Microsoft Word...then cut them out to make piecemeal tiles that I could use for dungeons etc. And lastly, for a huge dragon battle, I took a paper bag from the grocery store, and gridded it up (again at 1.25") using colored pencil for additional effect....looks cool enough. Wanted to add some diversity and texture to the grid. Wasn't quite what you asked for, but I thought I'd share some ideas for folks who wanted to make their grids. Fox [/QUOTE]
