What miniatures rules exist that use hexes to regulate movement? I have built hexes for playing Command and Colors using miniature figures. But I would love to be able to use the hexes for other rules. |

Many hex-based boardgames can be converted to miniatures. ASL, Sniper, to name a few. |

Rommel works well with hexes instead of squares. |

I've converted quite a few ruler based and square based rules to hexes. It is fairly straightforward and I do like to get as much use from my Hexon as possible. |

Look at Bob Cordery's suite of Portable Wargames books. They are designed explicitly as hex or square grid based. Bob is active on here, and there is a Facebook page which is quite lively. |

I meant to add, I've found the various Neil Thomas rules easy to convert to hexes, as is Spearhead. |

Several of my naval wargames rules use hexes, or have hexed versions. Examples include "Cod War" and the ACW and age of sail versions of "Man o War" that I've been working on over the years |

My games had miniatures in the back of my mind as I have long be interested in the visuals of miniatures. The game maps are small for use with 5/8" thick counters and are made out of a durable canvas like material. My printer will even print enlarged maps up to 3 times the size for those who like to use miniatures and put the counters behind. link |
