Grid overlays

[ibi]

I'm looking for those grid overlay tiles for CMBB and CMAK (or can the same tiles be used for both games?)

It looks like CMMODS.com is no longer accepting registrations, so I can't login there.

Is there anywhere else I can obtain these grid overlay mods? I'm having a heck of a time with LOS in these games. I'm hoping the grids will help a little.

Thanks.

Grids do nothing for LOS. Use the LOS lines from your units.

For gridded terrain which is very useful try here :

one of the people who is taking up CMMODS following its closing down announcement. He is a WeBoB member so might be thought trustworthy : ) I also understand the club a Few Good Men are doing similar.

Weeellll - grids help _predict_ LOS. With a grid you can see folds in the terrain that you otherwise might not spot.

Your next question would likely be "but there are so many gridded terrain variants, which should I use?

Browsing the previews will give you some idea.

However, I would recommend you try the RM-GAJ series.

Unfortunately, there aren't so many nice previews of these uploaded, so they don't stand out in the list. The "special" thing about these is the diagonal lines that RocketMan added:

Although this preview isn't exciting, maybe it gives you the idea that these show the folds well.

I also see that some of these are yet to be uploaded to the new site: I'll get on and do those myself soon!

PS - some RM-GAJ mods have "thick" in their name. These are 5m interval grids, which are not to everyone's taste (IE Rocketman liked them, but I don't know who else )
