Topic: Silly question- what size hexes?

I've ordered Starmada X and Ares from you lovely people and I was wondering what size hexes SX uses. The only black one I've seen so far has 30mm hexes, which is about 1-1/4". Is this standard, or do you use another size?

Thanks in advance-

Re: Silly question- what size hexes?

our star mats are 1.5 inches, and our bases fit just right

we get them from Monday Knight Productions for our friends across the pond

We also use the Monday Knight felt hexgrids with 1.5" (40mm) hexes. But really, it matters not -- as long as your miniatures/counters/whatever fit within the hexes, you're good.

The more important consideration is the number of hexes on the board. I recommend your board be between 30-40 hexes wide and 25-35 hexes deep. Otherwise, you give too much of a benefit to longer-ranged weapons.
