Forget 5', 3.2808399' is where it's at

Also, I weight 220 lbs. Don't ask me how many kilos. I have no idea. I am 6'2". No idea in centemeters either.

heh.. how many "stone" is that???

As for the blog, it is interesting. I am all for the smaller tactical space, as it makes more sense. 5 feet is a LOT of space to think about. Especially when you tell me that someone cannot occupy the same space as me.

I have to disagree. If you think about a man wielding a 3.5 foot (or 1.2 meter) longsword, I would not want to be in the same 5 foot square with him swinging the damn thing!

Encounter distance? 3 meters away from my opponent? Wow, now I am getting a little bit confused. (Not really, but now I ACTUALLY have to think.)

Really? Do you know how big a yard is? There shouldn't be any confusion anymore.

You just made a great argument for going for 1 meter hexes!! Sweet!!

The man is in one hex, his sword clearly swings through all of the adjacent hexes in his swing arc. One character per hex. If you are in the swing arc you are potentially going to be hit. No arguing about it being a 5' space and being too far away to be hit.
