Hi all, I have been creating some hexagonal tiles for a space game we are playing. I am just curious as to people thoughts who have used hextiles in the past. IIt seems to be a 50/50 like and hate thing with them.

The games I have been playing use them as huge hexes int he first game that can be put together to make scenery. The other game uses small rough 1 inch hexes for measurement.

Just curious as to people views. The seem to be better for space based and seas based games to me whereas I have not seen dundeon crawlers use them at all.

Any views?
