    This reminds me of another question I have never found the answer to.  
How tall is a Hex.  And consequently how tall is a mega hex.  That is to 
say, is a giant 3 hexes tall or only 1?  But that aside, your figures above 
are even more accurate to the spirit of TFT.  Let's see what this 
relationship yeilds.

   5 hexes to traverse 2 mega hex
   5h = 8m
   and we get the new number of
   1.6m per hex.

   Oh yeah.  150cm.  <laughs nervously and looks emberrased>  That must 
have been what I meant by 1.5m to a hex.  I was thinking in tunneling terms.

   All joking aside.  How tall is a hex.  What exactly is the volume in 
cubic meters.  It is moments like this when I am reminded of how many times 
people on this news group have mentioned things like "I don't use hexes", or 
"I use a ruler and measure movement in inches."
