About the game
Hex War is a pocket-sized turn-based battle. You and an AI general start at opposite ends of a hex map with a headquarters, a few units and some neutral towns in between. Infantry is cheap and the only unit that can capture towns and headquarters, tanks hit hard and move fast, and artillery shells enemies two or three hexes away but cannot move and fire in the same turn. Every town you hold adds to your income, which you spend on new units at your HQ.
The ground matters. Forests and hills protect whoever stands in them and slow everyone down, tanks hate forests, hills give extra punch and longer artillery range, and lakes block the way. From map eleven the battlefield is covered in fog, so you only see what your units and towns can see. Win by marching infantry onto the enemy HQ.
