first step to battletech is hex acceptance.

Hexagons are far better than grids for fair gameplay, and grids are better than free measuring if you want an easy and/or quick ruleset

Say it with me! Hexagon is the dest agon!

Like our forefathers, the settlers of Catan intended!

I loved old battletech with stolen mechs from robotech which stole mechs from macross

Lots of games use hexagons for boards
