Assuming you're playing with 25mm troops. . . 

1" = 10m.

Average 25mm figure base is 1".

Hence average seperation for those "shoulder to
shoulder" troops is 10m.

Which is well within reason, speaking as a real world
soldier.

As for grenades, at max you're talking 40-50m
effectively and that's 4-5" of ground scale.  Close
combat range, really.

At a groundscale of 1" = 10m, if you want something
with a blast radius, get a damn mortar.
