3D model description

A flexible movement tool designed to make movement on a hexless Battletech map easier.

The parts are modular and you can build it to the length you desire. Using colors to represent walk and run distances is also an option.

The parts snap together firmly instructions for assembly are included in the Text document.

Parts included are:

The distance bridges each is 2" long the standard conversion to convert hexless maps to Battle tech hexes

End caps to cover unused connectors at the end of the tool

Connectors to connect two distance bridges or a hex bridge

Hex bridge, a optional piece for the start of the tool with a hex integrated to help with determining how many hex sides a turn take.

It is recommended that the tool be carefully folded for storage rather than disassembled. It can be seen in the pictures that it can fold to a very small package.

Parts have been updated with larger and more firm connection joints. please use the improved parts designated with "imp" in the name.

New update added a hex turn marker at each joint. This allows the tool to be used similar to the movement tokens in the Xwing game.

Each player can lay out a move using the tool then revel their move at the same time. This can add another layer of strategy to games making movement simultaneous and making players have to anticipate their opponents moves.
