This might be an odd request, but I need a 1 inch by 1 inch grid for tactical maps. Living in Canada, the metric system dominates our lives, and I can't draw straight lines to save my life. Is there a pdf grid anywhere?

Try vinyl. 8.5 by 11 sheets of paper are way too small. Either buy it online or at your local game store.

Another suggestion. If you have a 3.5 DMG, take the map that came in the back to a shop and get it laminated. Durable and can be written on and reused.

You can also purchase a cheap poster frame at WallyWorld. Draw lines on one side, turn it over and use the other side with Vis-a-Vis's.
