Nice work schoon. Can freehand dump.DXF (vector) Files or EPS?

I'd like a 25mm version of these. Be nice to have a light (very) grey grid
overlay in 25mm too for ease of use.

I think large gathering spaces are anathema on mid-sized warships. And
concentrating all of X (insert your choice of X) in one spot means 1 hit
leaves you without facility X.

Plus, what in the name of Pete is a WC?

Also, labelling the decks (ie above the small deck, a little label with "Deck
1: Command Bridge" and above the other, "Deck 2: Main Deck" would be nice).

It just so happens that I have somewhere some old ship-alts ...
engineering drawings.... of a destroyer class vessel from a modern (sort of)
navy. I will look them out in the next week or so and see if that sheds any
light on missing things or on ship space distributions.
Used to have them up on my wall - they took up the entire wall.

WC: Water Closet. Old name for a bathroom or head.

If you need a hex overlay grid, see my Graphics for Gaming page at
<http://www.primenet.com/~reynol/gaming/files.html>. You can D/L
a variety of hex-grid EPS files, and an Illustrator 7 file containing
hex-grid patterns (from which the EPS files were generated).
Freehand should be able to work with the EPS files; I don't know if it'll
import the Illustrator file.

Enjoy!
