Start by placing your Plexiglas map panels together. Here we are using (6) 36" x 24" panels set in a 6' x 6' square.





It may be useful to tape the backs of them together to keep them from sliding around. If you are playing on a dark colored table, it may be a good idea to place a natural colored backing cloth beneath the panels. This will brighten them up and unify them. In this how-to we didn't bother with a backing cloth because we had some light grey tables to set up on which did the trick.





Begin by drawing rivers. These will always be the low points on your map. After drawing rivers, draw elevation lines. Finally, draw roads. The type of game you are playing will dictate the terrain you draw, so keep that in mind. You don't want too much, but in general the more terrain on the board the better the game will be.
