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.

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.
