…or how I stopped crabbing across a hex grid.

Good idea.

That said, might just be me, but I tend to think of hexes as working better for moderns--in the sense of 1914 forward--and skirmish gaming than they do for linear warfare. On a 1944 battlefield, they define an area well. In 1814, you have to keep finding work-arounds. In artillery, hexes are fine for howitzers, but awkward for solid shot.
