- a map of the entire world, using 'sea-snake-tunnels' to abstract the distances for oceans, leaving most of the map free for land hexes. (As large a land mass as possible)

..one hex at a time...

Thanks, actually, with good atlases, internet resources, and lots of measuring, etc. 2.5Km/hey are the most difficult to make as they bring lots of details to simulate!!

Yes, but how do you actually construct the map? If one hex at a time, how do you keep everything aligned properly? Do you do an outline first? Is there some system you use to keep the scale accurate?

actually, I take an hex overlay on map (I try to use 1:20'000 maps).

for such a map the distortion is not excessive. for my Barbarossa at 5km per hex or my 1914-1918 one, the distortion was bigger.

I guess I am happy school taught me cartography.
