Scaling the vehicle rules for combat

[Denim N Leather]

I have been reading through the vehicle rules from Ultimate Combat and am getting all sorts of crazy ideas.

My problem, however, is one of scale -- literally.

With vehicles either being so large or moving so fast, they cannot be contained in a standard battle mat.

I was thinking of doing something like a 1:4 scale, where one square = 20ft. This will effectively make the map 4x larger.

If anyone has run a combat using vehicles I would love to hear how you did it!

I use larger scales based on the movements. For example, when using a carriage pulled by horses, I use a 40ft square on the grid. I use graph paper to plot out the chase. The graph paper is taped to a piece of cardboard and locations plotted using colored pushpins. Recently ran a chase through a city that way. Used the Cassomir picture from Cities of Golarion printed on graph paper. Scaled the picture a bit and viola!

Thanks!

I will be using multiple sheets of clear plexiglass for my combat.

FYI, the models I am building for that combat can be seen here.
