Can someone tell me how to alter the default hex size of 100m to something else?
I remember reading that hex sizes are default 100m but can be set to any scale. I would like to alter it to 25m per hex for some scenario creation. Can this be done in the scenario editor or must it be done in ADC2?
Thanks!

I think it's in ADC2 - was looking through the map creation novel (I mean tutorial) the other night and it gets referenced there.

It would be great for the product if they moved to a different way of creating maps (like using DEM data). I emailed Scott to that effect today, but not sure if I'll get a reply.

I suggested waaaaaaaay back that using DEM data was a way of insuring very accurate maps. But part of the problem I think is that we have a community which is very used to topo and homemade maps. For some DEM data gets complicated.

I hope they do switch to DEM nonetheless.

I got a response back from Scott saying that it's on the ADC wishlist and within their capabilities, just a matter of finding time - gives some hope at least :)

It seems he excluded it in one of the last beta versions. I checked under the 160 build and now hex size is back. Cool, this will make simulating smaller squad battles a little easier now.
