There are good ideas in there for line of sight. I've done my hexes
differently though, and I'm hoping to be able to continue to use Java's
graphics 2D package for calculating line/hex intersections. If I run into
trouble with it then I'll probably rewrite the whole hex board part, but for
now I think its ok, and even seems pretty easy to work with.

Thanks again!

I found another useful link, relating to how
to implement the
targeting and line of site (rolling to miss intervening
targets,
etc.). This assumes you use hex coordinates that are not orthogonal:

These
calculations are not trivial, but the code has already been
worked out - just
requires some application of it :-)
