When you want to get into 6mm but don't want to make a whole new table with new terrain and figures... ...just make digital counters in PowerPoint on a satellite photo background! And pretend it's a board game measured in inches instead of hexes. Work in progress...  |

That’s neat! So, can you move the counters around without having to cut and re-paste? How do you scale the counter size, or did you need too?

I just click and drag the counters, very easy. For scaling, I got the map as close up as I could and then made the counter about the same size as a small house, similar to Lock n Load (which inspired this idea). Still thinking about the scale and the best way to make this map, though.

Where did you get the counter art?

Where did you get the counter art? I used Google. Those infantry images are art from an Italian infantry model. |
