I was trying give my players a sense of scale for Mirkwood, so I told them it would fit the whole of England inside it. I was just guessing though, so thought I'd see for sure...
Well, it turns out you can fit a lot more than just England in there!  vs |

I did exactly the same thing early during development, but I got slightly differing results... the British Isles filled the entirety of Mirkwood. Francesco |

It sure is big... Actually, I just checked the scales again, this time using the scale from a Google Maps map rather than a random image from the web and you're right. it's pretty much exactly the length of the British Isles. (I re-uploaded the image so the pic in my first post should be the new one now) vs |

Sir, I trust you won't feel daunted by its size, and will explore it in the name of your King?  Francesco P.S.: sorry, some gaming habits are too well-rooted to be forgotten! |

Great imagery. This is so helpful in getting players an idea of the dimensions in Middle-earth.
