I used the hex grid for about a year then haven't for the last 7-8 years.

For me, the biggest gain is being able to discern the land contours much easier. I also prefer the look and feel.

In a whole game, on average, I may briefly turn on the hex grid once, to try and nail down exactly where MG fire is coming from.

If you use the hex grid, I also recommend you turn it off; it may take a game or two to get used to, but it's worth it...

I also turn off the ID flags, after the deploy phase.
