Hex size question

It's a measure of movement and distance, so imagine the path a figure takes moving from hex to hex. That distance is nominally one yard. The point-to-point distance (presumably between opposite points) isn't a particularly interesting measure, because that's not the way the figures move on the map.

Okay. So the "inradius" is 18". And as quick calculation: the vertex to vertex distance is 1.1547 yards (41.6 inches) -- that's twice the "circumradius" And each hex side is 20.8 inches.

So two people standing in one hex is very cozy.

Easiest way to visualize would be to get six 20.8" lengths and lay them out.

That's why you want to have a weapon with Reach Cozy - to cause crazy close combat casualties.
