Re: Battlefields Kickstarter possible Stretch?
I've been doing the following for maps in Ogre:
1) go to the dollar store and buy clear adhesive shelving paper 2) roll it out stickyside up and put the map face down on the paper without crinkling it 3) back it with another sheet of clear adhesive, leaving a small border with no paper so that the adhesive bonds to itself. Works fine. You end up with a tough, rollable map. |

Re: Battlefields Kickstarter possible Stretch?
That's clever! Someday I want to have one printed on a banner (without grommets) and see how that works.

Re: Battlefields Kickstarter possible Stretch?
Finally finished my ODE-scale Icepick map. I followed your advice & used a glue stick ( first time ever). It worked very well. The low initial tack allowed me to fine-tune the alignment to get all the hexes matched up properly.
I laminated it with Duck peel & stick. I got one very small wrinkle in one edge, otherwise it came out great. I was initially a little skeptical of the foam-core/ glue-stick method, but it gave very good results, especially for a first attempt. The map looks good, is lightweight & should be reasonably durable. Looking forward to finally playing Icepick after all these years... Thanks again for all your support!

Re: Battlefields Kickstarter possible Stretch?
I hope you enjoy it. I used to be picky about the maps, but once you start playing a real game, the imperfections don't matter because you're too busy playing Ogre!

Re: Battlefields Kickstarter possible Stretch?
I'm actually considering designing a map, and then asking my friendly local printer to see if he can print it on a game-mat. I had him do some star mats (for a rather well known SW combat game) and some sea mats too, and they came out fine for usual use. Thanks for a great design package.
