Tom is right. I've done this in a couple mods and it works great. The only problem is setting up grid locations on the board, because pieces don't show up so the board will be blank. Create a 'fake-board' and import it as the map when you want to make a grid. So, make your map contain 1 board with the dimensions you need, then make the changable parts of the board Pieces and place them as at-start-stacks and set and set as unmovable. If they need to change, you can use layers for the other configurations, or allow them to move only on a shift-click. Either should work. Dave

One approach would be to make the map pieces be very large pieces in a bottom-most layer. So to build the map, you would first place the map tiles on the map. Make them does not stack, so that you don't pick them up with other higher levels. This should work well as long as the shape of the battle map is the same, although I suppose you could leave some blank spaces. It would also be good, then, to include a button which removes all of the map tiles so you could set up a new battle. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
