I asked 'scaper Hahnarama to bring us an expo on the popular heroscape battlefield building software VirtualScape.* Hahn writes:

What's a guy to do. I mean you went out and got yourself a copy of heroscape and they gave you like four scenarios... So you said to yourself I'll go check out the heroscape site... wow another whole four more scenarios. So, I ask again, what's a guy to do? Well friend, if you've got a little creativity in your back pocket and Windows on your computer your in luck! Not long ago a Frenchman came along and brought us a simple, slick, and very BUTT KICKING application that allows you to build your maps as a two dimensional model and with the click of a button turns them into a true 3D. That's right you can easily build yourself a heroscape map and scenario, look at it in 3-D and then print out instructions for building it at home, or even share the maps with the online...

"Every Christmas, many of us travel to our families and must leave our obsession behind us. NO MORE! Now, with the wonderful "Meta-Map," HeroScape can travel with us! Now we can pack a small amount of material and figures into our luggage and bring the fun to the family.

During the Holidays, the dining room table is used for it's original intent -- eating! The Meta-Map doesn't have to live on the dining room table. It's quick to set up and break down, and is small enough to fit on an end-table, a coffe table, a TV dinner tray, or a large Lazy Suzan. The Meta-Map...

Lack of visual detail on your castle set got you down?

We've got just the solution your looking for. A fast easy way to touch up your castle, to bring it on par with all of the rest of your Heroscape gear.
