This works fine, even though it isn't necessarily exactly as it would be on a board. Using the actual megahexes on a board can lead to some frustration, since it is possible to be at the edge of a MH, facing to the immediately adjacent one, and be able to cast creation spells further behind you than in front. They make for quick calculations, but counting individual hexes is just as good. A range ruler makes it even faster.
