Scale?

[Johnus]

I can not find any reference to scale in the manual. Anyone know how big a hex is side to side?

Wonderful game. Got me out of my gaming doldrums.

Hi Johnnie,

30 km hexes.

Are'nt the hex's wider horizontly than they are verticaly?
I remember reading that in this forum.

That should only effect how things look.

The largest hex textures are 128 by 96 pixels.

That's merely a graphic representation of a projection and doesn't change spatial relationships.

For a more extreme version of the same kind of thing, take a look at what you have to do to a mercator projection to generate a map square in Strategic Command I or II.

Mercator projections can be pretty distorted in and of themselves because the world is roughly spherical and not a tube. Greenland and Antarctica are much smaller on a world globe than they are on a normal map.
