If so, then I can do the exact same drawing with hexes, although it will not have the perfect rectangular shape, just sizeActually the dimension that goes "against the grain" will be distorted and shrunk, and I'm not sure how you will get the shape right either, since a 10x10 room will "actually" be shaped like four hexes, or maybe two hexes and 4 half-hexes?I'm remembering our discussion on this before, where you allow people to stand on the line between two hexes, which really amounts to using an oddly-shaped grid, anyway.What if you want to center an area effect on someone standing on the line between two hexes, as they would be if they were going down a corridor "against the grain".  It's not too simple and easy to calculate area effects then.What I imagine you do is sort of step back from the grid, and imagine the circle, or semi-estimate it with the hexes, and then make judgement calls about what is and is not included, which works for any grid system.</blockquote>
