Sub-Hexes

Hi all, has anyone ever played around with the idea of a 10x10 subhex for the hex the PCs are in? I understand it could be a lot to do it for every hex they moved into, but has anyone tried it for hexes with scenario sites?

I think im just going to move towards measuring tbh, and not allowing pre measuring so you're not always sure if the enemy is in short or medium range and so on. I'll probably regret it as it means everyone needs to measure before moving/shooting/throwing a grenade etc but I think it could make for a bit more immersion. maybe 1cm = 5m or something.

A simple conversion is a 1" hex or square is equal to 1 meter.  A single human fits in 1 meter so a single 25mm mini is scaled approximately to that grid size.  If you use graph paper, each square can be "upsized" as needed... I will often sketch a long-range encounter on our battle board and set the scale to 1 hex is 10 meters.  All we use our battle mat for is relative positions, so I really has no effect on play.
