The Problem With Hexagons

Re:The Problem With Hexagons by woliveirajr on Friday April 26, 2019 @11:25AM (#19758482)

I remember when I was a kid and tried to draw my own map. By hand, of course, as printers have barely been invented and having a PC in your house was a thing for few 100s families in the world.

Now that we have PCs and color printers everywhere, I ask: is there any software ("app" for the younger ones) for creating your own maps for wargames? Which one does the HN community recommend?

And I think I found a new use for my 3d printer... infantary!

Well, there's a wide variety of drawing/painting software. Anything that has layers and transparency and allows freeform, Bézier curve, and straight-line drawing should be plenty. And that's most of them. Personally, I like Krita.
