And before you know it you’re buying into one of these silly hex&counter games too …
Well c’mon then…
…catch up!
😛
@laughingboy Good Evening Sir. Can I interest you in 6mm gaming .. It IS the one true scale . You wont be disappointed
@torros now that is just being silly 😀
Bah. 1:10,000 (1″ hex = 250m) is the true Panzer Leader scale. 😀
Oh, I forgot … those games are “silly.”
for a man who came up with Darkstar that seems like a very large scale there Jim 🙂
Oh God, I don’t even know what “scale” Darkstar would be.
Eh … 1.5″ hexes (physical map) = 180 kilometers.
39600 inches in a kilometer (approximating 3.3 feet per meter).
26,400 hexes (1.5″ hexes) per km
x180km per hex = 1:4.75 million.
That is NOT QUITE 0.0004mm, less than 4/10,000 of one millimeter, or less than 0.4 microns.
And yes, Darkstar is a tactical wargame. Once you get into operational wargames, scale isn’t even an issue.
