    Help HE

    Right!

    A new question which may have been answered before.

    While working on a map of Sourthern Scandinavia, as part of a board game on the political situation in Denmark, during the period 900 AD to 1050 AD, I have come up with a problem which I'm sure, I'm not alone with; hex mapping.
    This is of course only meant as a prototype of the final board, if it is ever to be published.
    I have this large png-file map and I have to hex it into .5" hexes which has to be numbered. I plan to do this in either Adobe Illustrator or in Adobe Photoshop (both CS 3 versions).
    After having layered the map and the hexes in two different layers, I plan to add trees, rivers, elevation aso. using coloration and different brushes i PS.
    The hex grid (and the map) has to look like this (which is a picture of the GMT game "Under The Lily Banners").

    How du I make this grid and how du I number each hex?

    TIA.

    and here is a list: http://cryhavocgames.net/Tutorials_Utilities.htm

    and a web search of "Hex Grid Generator" will turn up dozens more.
