One of the best wargame purchases I have ever made was to buy Hexon II hexagonal terrain boards. I bought enough to easily cover my extended wargame table. (It is actually two IKEA extending tables. When they are not extended, each is 3' x 2' (90mm x 60mm), so normally I can use an area that is 3' x 4' (90mm x 120mm), but when they are both extended, I have a tabletop that is either 3' x 8' (90mm x 240mm) or 6' x 4' (180mm x 120mm).)
When space in my toy/wargame room became tight and it was difficult to extend my tables (can a wargamer ever have enough storage space?), I looked around for some way that I could wargame on a much smaller terrain board but still use my Hexon II terrain board. In the end, I opted to buy a 3' x 2' (90mm x 60mm) magnetic white board which – after a small amount of modification – could accommodate a 6 x 8 hex grid of Hexon II terrain boards.
Since then I have used it to fight all sorts of wargames, most of which were part of mini-campaigns. As I have found this so useful, I decided to create a short YouTube video to share its usefulness with my fellow Portable Wargamers and YouTube followers.
The video can be found here on the Wargaming Miscellany YouTube channel.

Another good video Bob! One question, did you get the pre-flocked hexon?
ReplyDeleteColinmnash,
DeleteCheers! My original Hexon II hexes came without flock, but I replaced them with pre-flocked ones.
All the best,
Bob
