I thought the comments following the article were kind of humorous, if not down right daft. Some of the posters indicated war games with square grids are preferable to the "confusing" hexagonal grid used on the War in the East map. Square grids? Are they cave dwellers who are still playing Tactics-II or AH�s original Gettysburg? I guess these same dudes slept through basic geometry and probably think Pythagorean's theorem is some sort of medical condition.

Actually I find square grids really confusing. I feel like I am locked in a room and there are no doors out when squares are used. DUH.
