You might want to look at a couple of Battletech sites. Battletech uses hex maps for combat, they are often numbred to note minefilds and hidden units.

The best hex paper was the old Judge's Guild 17x22 light brown stuff.

The Blackmoor Map from The World's First Fantasy Campaign was printed on it.
You can see the map here . (Warning: Slow link, big GIF)

You could also get blank sheets. I picked up a half dozen from a guy on ebay a few years ago.

A minor disagreement here: The Best Hex Sheet in the World was by the Companions back in the eighties, not that I am biased by having written stuff for them in the way back or anything...

They had a 1/2 inch hex pattern with a 5 inch hex in grey overlayed on it, with each little hex representing a large hex on the next scale up. (They used multiples of 10, so 5 ft/inch for play, 50 ft/inch for tows, 500 ft/inch for surroundings, a slightly undersized mile/inch for the campaign maps, etc.

Gods I wish I could still get them.

You can get somthing similar over on the Necromancer Games / Judges Guild site.

Its right here.

Similar, but it misses the 10:1 ratio that was what I liked best about the Comanions mapping sheets. Looks closer to a 25:1 ratio. But very similar in concept if not execution.

But considering that the Companion's sheets have been out of print for 15 years or so, and this is available free... Thanks for letting me know. This might do the trick.

I fixed this issue by buying the HexPaper font from the Cumberland Fontworks. It's a TrueType font with glyphs for hex, square, offset square, and isometric maps. Pretty cool, pretty cheap, and I can make whatever graph paper I need whenever I want it.
