Hi All;
In a few months, I am going to be starting a Shadowrun campaign. I have played D&D for many years and have almost always used battle mats in one way or another. In D&D the grid conversion is 1 square (25mm or 1 inch) is 5 feet. A close-ish converstion from 1 square = 5 feet would be 1 square = 2 meters. Would this work? Do any of you use battle maps? If so, what is the meters per square that you use? How would you bring in (or would you) a sniper from 100+ meters out? How would you (or would you) use a battle grid for vehicle combat? Thanks in advance for your help. |
