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.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

Whether there are ghosts in that house is not for me to say! But, there are far more dangerous things than ghosts.

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

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.
