A thing that should've been done better

When you play HQ, sometimes there are few doors next to each other. The problem is, door bases are so big that minis dont fit between 'em. Any thoughts?

Well in general it's not just the doors. Also furniture and figures tend to clutter up.

No thoughts about good solutions other than creating your own board with larger tiles.
But in my opinion it's not that big of a problem anyway.

(Definitely a design flaw though!)

I don't have a problem with furniture, but those minis are cluttering up. Though minis should be smaller if you'd like to get them side by side. :p

or print your own board slightly larger (2.5x2.5cm is good. 3x3 is a bit large but if your table can fit it, that's fine too)
you can have stuff printed on vinyl. Waterproof and you can roll it up.

Sure that's possible, but I think I'll try to figure something else out. Or just leave them as they are :P

I find the doors tend to get in the way and I usually have to shift them out into the corridor if there's a lot happening in a room. No biggie. That custom made board does look cool though.

They do :) Could try to do own bases though.
