Re: [HoE] Using Minis in HoE

[Doctor X <doctorx@aa.net>]

Get a ruler and figure out some sort of appropriate scale.  As for scenery,
I have a shoe box filled with empty cigarette packs, matchboxes and cassete
tape cases that have served me well over the years.  For detail, get a new
sponge and cut it up for foliage.  I also keep a handful of coins in
various denominations to serve as trees, rocks, etc.  GEOHEX is something
that happens to other people.

Beyond that, you don't have to do anything that you don't do for
wargaming.  Have a decent surface to set them down on and don't let the cat
up there.  (Unless you need to simulate a dragon or something.)
