Thanks for the replies.
I hadn't considered the size of the actual models themselves.  I don't have any miniatures yet, so it didn't occur to me that some of them would be much larger than the base.

Hello all,
I recently downloaded the Nova Edition quickstart rules, and plan to order the full rulebook soon.  I also looked at a copy of the Admiralty Edition quickstart rules, and I noticed that the suggested map hex size was increased to 2 inches in the Nova rules.

It seems that most ship bases are 1 inch hexes, so I'm curious about why the designers suggest the larger hex size.
Is it so more than one model can be in a hex at one time?  The Nova quickstart rules seem to say that multiple ships can't be in the same hex, but maybe that's just opposing ships?

I'm planning on getting a Hotz mat, so I'd like to get some insight before I place the order.

Thanks.
