What about hex grids? You either love them or hate them I think, but you can do much to improve the visual appeal. This is a 'Commands & Colors' American War of Independence variant I did a couple of years back using Peter Pig figures. Thought I would share a few images. What I like about grid games is they play fast and furious with no argument over move distances, ranges etc. C&C is an establishes boardgame system that plays out well with miniatures.
A few shots of the lovely PP figures on the board. All was made from scratch by myself and the grid was interchangable individual hexes!
