It works well enough - not as visually interesting as 15 or esp. 25mm
figs, but it does work. A friend has several platoons set up for 6mm SG2
-
individual bases, etc. 

On a space as small as yours (only 3x3') you'll probably want to use
centimeters for range & movement - using inches, SG2 engagement ranges
are
about the same as DS2 ranges (the ground scale is different, of course). 

Interestingly, if you use 6mm figs with inches in SG2, the ground scale
and the figure scale nearly match up - they figs are STILL a bit large,
but better than with 15mm, 25mm or regular DS2.

So yes, it does work, it's Stargrunt so of course it's fun, and you
should
give it a try!
