Well then we have the age-old question: how do you represent a straight corridor, against the hex grain, that is only one-hex wide?
If it zig-zags, the problem seems to be solved, but you can't shoot an arrow down the "straight" corridor (or can you? maybe the hex edge doesn't block line of sight...I'll have to re-check the AM rules)
There's always the diagonal solution, but that hurts our delicate aesthetic sensibilities! ;)
