Over the last few years I have bought several of Richard Borg’s games based on the “Commands & Colors” format. These games contain a lot of cardboard terrain hexagon tiles, but are not very good at providing storage for them, particularly once one begins to acquire expansion sets.
My particular bug-bear is Memoir’44, which does provide storage boxes, but made in a way that makes the tiles difficult to extract, and they are quite flimsy.
And so I have pressed my 3d printer into service, and using the online free design program “Tinkercad”. I have created my own boxes.
Each of these holds 36 double-sided tiles, and should fit nicely into a Really Useful Box (we shall see when I have printed enough of them). I might get organised enough to label them, but that’s a job for another day!
The downside is that each one takes over four hours to print.
When I have enough of these I will try making boxes for the rectangular terrain elements like bridges and bunkers, and maybe even circular ones for the counters.
