Fred98 -> How to turn a hex into a friendly hex? (6/26/2019 10:05:41 AM)
I am advancing. The enemy is withdrawing. All the nearby hexes are vacant of enemy troops. I surround one hex by occupying the hexes on all 6 sides but I do not occupy the hex.
Does the hex turn friendly by default, or instead, do I have to mop up every hex as I advance? .

Hexes convert as you move along. There are calculations made that basically say the following.
If there is a hex with zero supply that I don't control and I have a hex with supply next to it then that hex becomes mine.
So in your case that hex converts to your control. Yes it is a pain in the butt to take all hexes you don't own.
Also units take the hexes they travel in and the surrounding ones within a 1 hex radius as long as those hexes are not resources or have an enemy unit. You can take control of a nearby forest but if you walk past Minsk you won't.
