They will cut the hexes for you, so you can fill up the ugly holes along the sides.<br /><br />The advantage is that you can treat these half-hexes as full-hexes for gaming purposes, so have effectively extended your gaming board by some small number of additional hexes.Phil Dutréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607941040736764291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-60398174583325977952017-07-27T10:11:25.286+01:002017-07-27T10:11:25.286+01:00Conrad Kinch,

It would be a cheaper way to trying other periods too.

I can't see that I will have much problem with 15mm figures, but I'll be interested to see whether or not 20mm figures look right on the smaller hexes.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-31018751496841484882017-07-26T11:48:43.038+01:002017-07-26T11:48:43.038+01:00One has to admit that MofT can pack an awful lot i...One has to admit that MofT can pack an awful lot into a tiny space and make it seem big. <br /><br />I like the look of both setups and they each offer something different. If he can fit 4 1/72nd Airfix on a herohex surely a 15mm PW unit could fit?Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
