    I took a large dry erase board and scored it with an exacto knife to
create a grid of 1 inch squares.  The squares each represent a space two
yards across (or more if we need something large scale).  We use miniatures
if we have a good space to lay out the board, but usually we just mark
positions on it with the pen.  The beauty with the board is that you can
draw buildings and rooms and such right on it and then just wipe the whole
thing off when you're done.
