After Arthur Harman's recent suggestions regarding how to set up a hexed Fast Play 3 x 3 Portable Wargame, I bought forty half-hexes (twenty of each sort) from Hexon II. They arrived yesterday, and they look like this:
I am not sure when I will get the chance to use them, but they are a valuable addition to my already extensive collection of Hexon II hexes.
They look like a regular Hexon tile run through a bandsaw rather than a new injection moulded casting.

DeleteIt’s difficult to tell as there are no saw blade marks on the tiles, but you may well be right.
All the best,

The open-ness under the cut edge is a bit of a clue. I would expect that to be a solid edge if it were a new item.
ReplyDeleteJim Duncan,
DeleteHaving had a more detailed look at the half-hexes, I think that you are right. They do look as if they are standard single hexes that have been cut in two.
All the best,
Bob
Interesting to see them for real (I dimly recall that Mike Elliott has some) but I probably won't be adding them to my Hexon collection.
ReplyDeleteMartin Rapier,
DeleteI hope that they will come in handy when I try using the FP3x3PW rules on a hexed grid.
All the best,
Bob
I mentioned taking a shot at creating terrain hexes with my kid's 3d printer in one of these posts. I started playing with the simple software they provide and I'm having some very promising success!. I ordered some brown filament to use in making other hexes so I can do less painting.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has the patience to learn the software I strongly suggest getting one. I'll post pictures in my google drive and offer a link if anyone wants to see the finished work.
Mr. Pavone,
DeleteThis is a very interesting development, and I’m sure that others would be interested to see the results.
All the best,
Bob
