If a hex were 3.5 feet across measured side to side, the diameter of a circle drawn around that hex, being the same as the distance from corner to corner, would be 4.0 feet exactly. Not sure that makes any difference to this or not. I was surprised to see 4 feet given as the new size of a melee hex, but now would say that's actually not a terrible approximation if we're talking 3 feet from side to side, or from the center of one hex to an adjacent one.

My cohorts and I always treated melee hex-to-hex distance as 1 yard when scaling things, and I'm sure I always will.
