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…

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…"
