I forgot about the Autoduel tiny hex paper! I’ve got 1e even, w the insert pages and all.

The DriveThru RPG maps that are widely available w 1”=5’ all seem to use 1” hexes... if there is a mapmaker out there offering one yard hexes on the Matchbox scale art I’d love to know. Everything I’ve found requires fiddling to get those 8.7mm hex sides :)
