Excellent product (Chessex double-sided megamat with 1″ squares and hexes) As everyone else here has said, this Chessex megamat is excellent.

It seemed a convenient way to keep track of the immediate area instead of shuffling papers around and redrawing people at key points. Little did I know I would never be able to go back to doing things the old way again.The pens they suggest are perfect, leaving no marks behind. The squares are 1″, which is the standard for most miniatures systems out there. If you plan on doing a lot of drawing on the map and redrawing, you may need to rinse the wet cloth you use. When you wipe off the ink, it has to go somewhere!This has also sped up our games tremendously, and has people saying how much they feel like they’re more involved in the action. It also encourages them to use tactics, and eliminates any confusion on where people are when that becomes important. In all, I now have…
