Hi. When you are adding a hex grid to a game map is there a way to increase the thickness of the hex lines? I am unable to see the hexes on my board.

Try adding a Zoom function to the Map Board. You might be zoomed out too far to see the hex lines.

Thanks Brain. I have a zoom but when I zoom out the hex lines are completely invisible. During the setup it is very time consuming to keep zooming in & out for each counter. (There are many of them) I was hoping that there was a setting to thicken the lines.

rozar5,

As far as I know, there is no setting in Vassal to widen hex lines.

You might be able to create or edit the map in a program such as HexDraw which can vary hex line thickness, and then import the map into Vassal.

Good Luck,

Brian
