Feel free to edit to suit your needs. I recommend adding layers underneath for most mapping needs.
A sheet of hexes for wargaming and RPG needs! Great for 1/2" counters for the wargamer.

Thank you! This will come in handy for variant mapmaking. I am extremely old-school (I still have games I bought nearly 50 years ago), but not so old-school as to not know how to use GIMP!
Excellent! You are who I made this for!
Just curious, what games did you get five decades ago? That is the era of game that got me started... What was on my father's shelf.

Well, there wasn't much out there to begin with. My first wargames were mainly the better Milton Bradley ones: Battle Cry, Dogfight, Broadside. Parker Brothers had an interesting little combined-arms game called Conflict (some of the pieces, notably the battleship, were also used in Monopoly sets), and an obscure Civil War game called 1862.
I didn't know about Avalon Hill until 1968, when my brother brought home a copy of Stalingrad after finishing at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. I picked up PanzerBlitz in late 1971 and never looked back, buying a LOT of games, mainly at the time AH, SPI and GDW, and getting heavily into the Europa series. I drifted out of the hobby in the 1990s due to time constraints, other hobbies, and moving, but have made a slight return.
I'm still trying to put together a game (that will be somewhat simpler than Second Front) which combines the ETO and MTO.

I wouldn't say 'anyone under 25', just about 90-96% or so... There are some exceptional young folks out there who play hex grid and square cardboard piece games!
This is great! Just what I needed really. Planning a game with my old man based on his old war games. Thanks a bunch.
No problem! Have fun with it!
