"Official" size for GURPS hex grid sheets?
I vaguely recall that there were some hex grid sheets in various sizes with GURPS 3E. Are there any equivalent sheets for GURPS 4E?
Alternatively, if there are none, what hex sizes are the most useful for Dungeon Fantasy-style encounters (for example, when generated by mkhexgrid)? The reason I am asking is because I have some vague ideas of a repository for "encounter maps" with hex grids which GMs could use for their own encounters.

According to the Basic Set, "travel maps" can be drawn to any scale (no hexes required), "area maps" are drawn on 1/6-inch hex grids, "room maps" are drawn on 1/2-inch hex grids, and "combat maps" are drawn on 1-inch hex grids.
I couldn't get any of the hex generators to make 1/6-inch hex grids, so I eventually made one myself in the GIMP. |

For fun, I just pulled my boxed GURPS 1e out of storage to see what it included. In the reference sheets booklet there is a page of 6 hexes to the inch, and another of 1 hex to the inch.

*BOGGLE*
All that searching, and it was in the old Basic Set all this time! |

Yep. I had a mental image of a 6 to an inch grid, but that image was so old I couldn't recall if it was of something from GURPS 1e, or from TFT.
