Sensible. For instance a square grid can't simulate oblique attacks which are a bit subtle.

At Leuthen Frederick made an oblique advance. When he arrived it collapsed part of the Austrian line but it also meant each unit was potentially subject to concentrated fire until the next arrived. Any simulation has to allow for both effects.
