Jeff,
The problem is most likely you do no have the correct hex height and widths
specified.
have you tried clicking the 'Edit Grid' button in the Grid component? It opens
up a view of the map where you can click on the map to set a rough grid size
and then use the arrow keys to change the grid parameters (hex heigh , hex
width, X, y) and see the changes on the screen.
Once you have a rough hex size set, look at the left edge of the map and use
the left/right arrow keys to get a hex edge lined up. Then scroll over to the
right edge of the map and use ctrl-left/right arrow keys to adjust the hex
width until it is right.
Then do the top with arrows, then bottom with ctl-arrows.
That's roughly how I do it. Should take you a couple of minutes!
Cheers,
Brent.
