Hey all. I'm having a bit of a conundrum.
We just started a new game of starwars and the players all decided they wanted a change of pace and to go with highly tactical combat on the ground and in space battles. Probably because we've just done narrative combat for years.
So I agreed, why not give it a try right? Well after one session i remembered why I stopped doing that the first time. I HATE drawing maps. And I hate stopping the game to draw different maps and encounter locations in the middle of a session even more.
I do use a computer hooked to my TV screen for visuals though. So I'm hoping that someone knows a good program I can use to quickly put together tactical maps, I dont need a ton of detail. Just something I can spend a few hours during the week making and saving a bunch of semi generic maps I can move on screen icons around on to represent combatants.
Oh and with the holidays coming the cheaper the better (free is best).
Thx in advance all.
