Need a paint program but can't afford one?

Yeah I got all that already. It's figuring out the scale of the map and sizing the hexes to match 50m/yds. If I find something easy I'll let you know. I think I'll find a small map so that I don't have to count as many hexes.

Well you can't put a hex peg in a square hole.

I used the Grid at 9, top left aligned. At least now I can view the topo and count the squares as hexes.

Thanks

OK, I misunderstood.

You need a frame of reference to know the size of the hex grid for the map. There's a scale on most maps. Or if you know the distance between two villages is 1KM, then you adjust the grid until it's 20 hexes between the villages. But it's probably as much art as science. :rolleyes:
