(There were two old sizes. The old microgame maps were 1" across, the same as GURPS hexes, and worked well with the counters being less than 1" across. But the megahexes in the old Advanced Melee/Wizard/ITL were smaller than that and indeed a bit small for the old counters, and especially fiddly if you just had paper copies instead of mounting them on cardboard.)

Thanks much! This was very helpful as I haven't quite gotten around to unpacking my archived Melee/Wizard/ITL/etc books and Ral Partha minis yet so as to measure them.
After 30 years (alas, the kids grew up and moved away) of not playing it will be like Christmas when I open the boxes!!! Just think, now the big craze is Virtual Table Tops. Now THAT would be an interesting KickStarter!
Thanks again for the measurement info!!!
