Hexes have the advantage of being able to eyeball the situation when making a decision.
Measuring gives an opponent information about what you're thinking.
Deciding which one is appropriate would need to be decided on a game-by-game basis.
- jandrese 7y agoThe other downside of measuring is that it can be SLOW. Especially if the distances are close and you're having to precisely measure. Even worse if you allow premeasuring and people start checking all of the angles before deciding on a course of action. But if you don't allow premeasuring the game becomes more about who can accurately eyeball distances than who has the best strategic mind. Hexes replace all of that nonsense with a simple counting step that can be done in less than a second.
