Re: Gridless TFT?
You don't. For ranges given in MH, mulitply by 3.

Re: Gridless TFT?
Note that the scale can be whatever you want. If you want the squares to be 4 foot, no problem.
Remember, in this scheme, movement, range, etc. is not happening on a square basis. You're moving/counting the dots in the graphic.

Re: Gridless TFT?
5 out of the 6 major directions have 7 hexes for every 3 megahexes giving missile users a 1-MH advantage at 6-megahex range. I count 7 MH max range for a Melee map and 6 MH max range for a Wizard map. So missile users would potentially get +1 DX on the opening turn using a Melee or Wizard map. Maps much larger than those would give missile users more of an advantage.

Re: Gridless TFT?
I don't understand what you are saying but it should be understood that trying to use a square grid for this game won't be perfect.
Because I feel like there is some misunderstanding or miscommunication here, I'm going to re-post the following: Quote:

I think I prefer "sometimes" over "always", so I will multiply MH-ranges by 2 to get hex-ranges. Thanks.

Re: Gridless TFT?
After further review and some graphing, I would multiply MH-ranges by 2 and add 2 to get hex-ranges.
1 MH = ((1MH*2)+2) = 4 hexes 2 MHs = ((2MH*2)+2) = 6 hexes 3 MHs = 8 hexes 4 MHs = 10 hexes 5 MHs = 12 hexes 6 MHs = 14 hexes

Re: Gridless TFT?
I tend to use a combat ruler or measuring tape for ranged ranges, even while continuing to use hexes for movement, as it is fast, involves no counting, and gives the actual range with no side-effects of the hexgrid.

Re: Gridless TFT?
That's great but someone asked "How do you count MHs?" in reference to my idea for converting a square-grid map to a hex-grid map. This was a follow-up to that discussion.
