[Talk-us] the Battle Grid

[Martijn van Exel]

I have been playing around with the tile size a little. Bigger tiles
means you end up looking around for what to improve once you load all
the data into JOSM. Also, bigger tiles means the results get flattened
more - a big tile with a small subdivision that needs a lot of work
may not be flagged very prominently. The smaller tiles have the
disadvantage you mention. The grid will get refreshed every week or
so, so even if you work in an adjacent tile and don't mark it done, it
will disappear from the grid anyway. I ended up with this size as a
trade off, I think it works well, so please take the leap :)
