Re: (TFT) Megahex definition

[Jeffrey Vandine <jlv61560@yahoo.com>]

In the main, I agree completely with this.  Dark City Games did this a
s well.  I treat the on-map megahexes from the old classics as nothing
 more than a range calculating aid -- count the number of MH and add or sub
tract the necessary number of hexes to determine the actual area or hex aff
ected, or DX adjustment.  But I'm not anal-retentive about it -- if "c
lose enough" is good enough, that's fine.  "Perfection is the enemy of
 'good'."
(It's three hexes across a MH, BTW....)  ;-)

We tossed megahexes years ago. Since it's 6 hexes across a megahex we 
simply say when shooting or casting a missile spell the first six hexes 
are at a -0, the next set of 6 os at a -1, the next a -2, etc. Plus, 
when an area effect goes off, it affects the center hex and all 6 
surrounding hexes. Couldn't be simpler.

Trying to build complex, custom terrain maps to fight on and still 
retain the concept of megahexes is impossible.
