If I'm doing the math correctly 50mm squares should give a 2 foot by 2 foot board which will break down into 4 1 foot sections including a border making transport and storage very easy.

Assuming that they have scaled it up, it should be 480mm to 500mm square.<br /><br />I'm sure that Warbases could make a board with a hexed grid on one side and a squared grid on the other. They seem very amenable to fulfilling such special requests.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-83608422833735591462019-05-31T16:44:10.939+01:002019-05-31T16:44:10.939+01:00Bob,

At 380mm square it just doesn't seem big enough to me that many users would really have difficulty in storing or transporting it without needing to break it down. Now if the pieces were each one foot square and ideally with a hex grid on the other side I'd be much more interested. And if it were offered in matte green rather than "Arena white" ...<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />MikeMike Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231537324248937676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-66408264728164029902019-05-31T15:47:15.162+01:002019-05-31T15:47:15.162+01:00Michael Taylor,

Well done for finding it!<br />I have been toying with the idea of making a gridded surface and gluing it onto old, redundant family boardgame boards, but this looks a better solution.<br />Best wishes,<br />Arthur<br />arthur1815https://www.blogger.com/profile/12333670394529977263noreply@blogger.com
