	3D Map Information
		Depending on the map sheet you're using, you'll end up with a rectangular map with intact outer sides, with irregular cutout areas (areas higher than Level 0) in the center, or sometimes you'll have higher levels at the outer edge of the board, making the map a bit trickier to work with.
		After the glue is dry, use the edge of the map sheet sections to cut the extra foam with the foam cutter.
		Cutting map pieces out this way, even with the foam cutter, can be tricky; the cutter tends to melt the foam, it's difficult to keep vertical, and you end up with lots of grooves and waves in the vertical areas.

	Random Encounters: Hex Maps
		I've also become enamored of the old Judges Guild maps, with the 5-mile hexes where each hex always has something in it: a mysterious (or mundane) village, a monster lair, some weird ruin or crumbling statue, etc. The question then came down to "what to use" for the maps.
		I suspect part of the reason is that hex maps have gone out of style; TSR used to use them all the time.
		There are even a few who are so immersed in their own egos that they can't fathom the value of a hex map and think that they're only for people who can't read a "real" map.

	Hex Maps in zMapper
		On a Hex map, the horizontal spacing from one room center to another is different than the vertical spacing from one room to another.
		The Direction spacing is used when creating new rooms on the map, either by movement within zMUD, or within zMapper itself when using the keypad.
		It is one of the only map creation programs that allows you to easily change the spacing and directions used for the map, allowing easy hexagonal map creation.

	Hex map - Definition, explanation
		A Hex map, or hexagonal map is often used in tactical board games.
		The map is subdivided in small hexagons of identical size.
		(See diagram 1.) A great advantage of a hex map over a grid map is that the distance from one cell to the next is the same in all directions, which made them a favourite of many game designers since the 1970s.

	Hex map - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hex map, hex board or hex grid is a gameboard design commonly used in tactical wargames.
		The map is subdivided into small regular hexagons of identical size.
		The advantage of a hex map over a square grid or grid map is that the distance between a given cell, and all adjacent cells, remains constant.

	Hex Grids - StoneHome
		Hex grids are a critical component of many games, especially tactical and logistical games and games with unit engagement.
		Hex grids are also frequently a difficult point for novice coders, and often an extremely frustrating issue, given their superficial simplicity.
		Still, staggering isn't nessecary, and implies a minor logic overhead, given that which two nearby hexes against the grain are in the same row varies from column to column, so there's a bit of branching and a bit of simple mask logic implied.

	Omar's Hex-Based Space Combat
		The number of hexes between the ship and its velocity vector counter can be thought of as the speed of the ship (in the current frame of reference); the speed plus the direction make the velocity.
		Hex sizes should be chosen based on the range of the weapons in use.
		Where d is the size of the hex in miles, a is the fiducial acceleration in g, and t is the length of the turn in seconds.

		map is 35 x 51 hexes, short-grained (i.e., the rows are parallel to the short side of the map).
		Gravity arrows pointing at hex corners instead of hex sides: These mean that the direction of the gravity push is into either of the two hexes bordering the hex corner, at the player's discretion.
		This hex causes the head of a ship's vector arrow to be pushed at least one hex in the direction of the filled-in arrow for every hex passed through, with every other half-gravity hex causing a push in the opposite direction (thereby canceling the first arrow).

	Scenario Editing the (Not-so-)Hard Way
		So too for the map: a road will have as functional rule, "A unit moving on to it from an adjacent road hex will expend one half movement point", and the aesthetic rule "if two road hexes are adjacent, the roads must connect".
		Map Organization: Imagine the tpg2 map: It's in hexes, and there are straight vertical rows, but to go from left to right you have to bounce up and down hexes.
		What this means is that, on the map a hex is represented in two places: in one place for its top half (what I called in previous posts the "static hex") and in another, exactly one half-hex row down (what I referred to as the "dynamic hex").

	Hex map Information
		A hex map, hex board or hex grid is a gameboard design commonly used in tactical wargames.
		The advantage of a hex map over a square grid or grid map is that the distance between a given cell, and all adjacent cells, remains constant.
		(The distance from the center of a grid map with a cell of side length x and diagonal adjacent cells is x√2 instead of x.) This has made the hex map a favourite for many game designers since the 1970s.

		Also, in the hex version of the map, the hexes are only present in the ocean/sea hexes, not the land hexes.
		The 3D look of the official map is replaced by a more traditional 2D look, with terrain types drawn with a consistent look to make it easier to identify the terrain type of a hex (also I am not much of an artist and this was an easier way to draw the map).
		This example shows part of the map that is the same as the standard hex map, but without any base, land or ocean text.

		The big difference is that the hex tiles I am building actually have 3D mountains, rivers, and jungles on them that were modeled just like a piece of Warhammer terrain.

	Rules for Wargames
		Hex control can be granted at the outset of the game, or can be achieved by moving a unit into the hex and forcing out any enemy units.
		When a unit enters a hex through a road or bridge hexside, it pays only the cost for moving one hex along the road, regardless of the type of terrain entered.
		If terrain forbids movement to this hex or if the hex is occupied by enemy forces, the defenders may attempt to retreat to either of the two hexes adjacent to both the combat hex and the optimal retreat hex.
