The idea of a hex of hexes is not new, I remember Greyhawk using hexes
on it's big map, with little hexes assumed within.

How about 'Overhex'?  Or 'Radius One OverHex', which actually _says_
something, and is not just a name.  The Chitin megahexes would be
'Radius Two' overhexes...

A single hexagon could be a 'hex', a group of seven a 'curse', and group
of 19 a 'damnation'.  :)  (In keeping with the 'Devil's Advocate' theme)
