Yes they have discussed something like that before we ended last week. Right now they are fortifying and waiting for the coming infantry assault.

Another thing, How should I go about a map for combat? Is there any place I can download one or print one? We are using 2.2 rules for grid combat.

If you are using real towns then Google Earth is your friend. I draw up maps on 1-inch hex boards that I get printed at my local printer (Fine Print in Meadville PA). Butcher paper available in many places can be used to draw maps on as well.

Yeah I may just get a roll of gaming paper from gamingpaper.com 5 bucks is cheap. I would also like to print maps I have made with autorealm and RPG citymap Generator. But print big sizes, how do I change the size of the maps in autorealm if anyone is familiar with it.

Love autorealm, but I'm afraid I'm still really just a beginner.
This could be a good place to start looking though http://hub.yourtakeonscience.com/hub...1#.W4X6zDoxIdU

Great thanks! Yeah its a great program but seems fairly complicated to learn.
