Battle Mats, Soon to be New Shadowrun GM is confused in transition Options Track this topic Email this topic Print this topic Download this topic Subscribe to this forum Display Modes Outline Switch to: Standard Switch to: Linear+

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.
