Lots of naval games play on hexes. |

Any of the Richard Berg "Command & Colors" series. Correctly, Richard Borg. Sky Galleons of Mars (GDW Space 1889 title), is another good one. |

Correctly, Richard Borg. Yep. Richard Berg is another game designer and I can never remember who is who! |

Also the Sky Galleons' inspired Cloudships of Mars in May's Miniatures Wargames. And also in that inspiration descent: Aeronef. Roman Seas is among the many naval games. Battle Cry for ACW ground pounders. |

Again? By now, there's a huge amount of material available about the pros and cons of gridded games, not only on TMP, but also on zillions of blogs and other forums. |

Yep. Richard Berg is another game designer and I can never remember who is who! Berg I associate with SPI and boardgaming, mostly because of his designs and also that he published Richard Berg's Review of Games. Borg is the world-famous author of Pig Pile! (No kidding) Oh sure, he designed something called C&C and that other wargame Memoir 44 and let's not forget Battlecry…the latter two also using hexes. |
