Here is the prototype for Command & Colors Napoleonics rules set adapted to miniatures, the project is still in development. The long diagonal of the hexagons are 13cm (5.11"). Since I want the minis to be detached from the bases and be used for other rules systems like Black Powder and Rebels & Patriots I decided to go with 4 magnetic bases with 6 15mm soldiers each (24). Company, Batallion? I don't know. what do you guys think? I will add more pictures according to advance on the project. Comments, advise welcome. Cheers!

I am doing ancients with hexes with 5cm sides. Pictures available at link Design of the hexes is link Being able to clip the hexes together makes for a much more stable playing surface. |

Have a look at Tonys blog here… link
He uses old school Napoleonics in 24 figure units on 7 inch hexes. The blog is a goldmine of inspiration IMO. |

Hello guys, wow, spectacular table Nick and what a great blog you have. The hexes design link is not working, I just get a 404 flying in space =) . Paul, that Tony guy created an extraordinary table for sure, makes me wonder if I am ever gonna be able to achieve something as good, it is a challenge. |

I did a much more modest version using 1/72 plastics on a 4x3 foot board with 90mm hexes…
Have a look at my blog. link |

Zorro,
Suggest that you spend handling time handling those bases to see if they are manageable or too fiddly, especially when units are in adjacent hexes. |

Meant to say "spend some time handling those bases…" |
