Title: Hex or Grid?
Post by Adam on May 24^th, 2010 at 12:14am

I saw the minis poll and thought this would be a fun question to ask people.

Hex for large scale (more directions in which to move - very useful over long distances), grid for small scale (combat encounters).

I'd be all about hexes for combat, but the reality is that, assuming we're talking about D&D here, the combat system is designed for grids.

No one has voted Hex yet! Aren't there any Battletech fans out there? Anyone?

Hex just makes more sense.

With Avalon Hill roots that long pre-date D&D, I'm a hex man, but when using published modules, sometimes it *is* easier to use the grid. For my own stuff, it's hex almost all the way.
