in case anyone cares

Here's how my small scale map of the Little Kingdom from Farmer Giles of Ham fits into my larger map of Wessex.


Obviously this is just roughed out with MS Paint, but it's sufficient for my purposes.  Working with two nested hexmaps with the grids oriented 90 degrees from each other is not something I can recommend to others.

  1. Actually, I eat that kind of stuff up.

    I've been thinking about doing one of those Hex Based Campaign Design maps I love so much based on that map of Britain.

    I should probably get on that.

  2. I know you said this before, but what game does that map of the southwest of Britain come from?

  3. Simon de Montfort, a wargame published in issue #11 of Wargamer magazine, IIRC

  5. I always thought the SPI game from Ares magazine, Albion Land of Faerie, had a neat map of England. See - http://boardgamegeek.com/image/521587/albion-land-of-faerie

  6. Re: Farmer Giles of Ham, probably my favorite JRRT work. Maybe there's some alternate universe where Prof. Tolkein is best known as a prolific short story writer.

  7. I like this very much -I once ran an arthurianesque game -fantasy trip rules, using the old AH Kingmaker board. It abstracted strategic movement very nicely.

    the campaign worked surprisingly well until the players went rogue, and they all had to be hunted down and hung. Ah well. Camelot !
