How best to Battlemat large maps

[Redrobes]

Yeah use a VTT and just zoom to the area your battling in. One of the areas I find a VTT best for is for battles outdoors with bows. The range on a bow is very long but you can still do these no problem with spaced out minis. It really changes the dynamic when you have a large group of goblins with short bows off to one side giving cover to a the main force. You can try to close that 200' no mans land if you like...

I like playing rogues a lot so always liked the bow but often you don't get a chance to use it effectively cos the battles are set up so that your half closed into combat by the map the DM has for the encounter. There was another time I remember where in old D&DV2 one of the party had a monk with extremely fast move rate but it never came into play unless there was the space to work it.

I don't do modern stuff but I imagine that it would make even more of a difference with artillery and snipers.

Or Super Speedsters and Energy Projectors.
