Entering A Hex With A Body

If you give me a howitzer on this, make it short and explain why it will speed play.

How about making them pay an extra movement point or some such?

Unnecessary flourish would be to allow them to make a 3/DX roll and jump over the hex (spending only 1 mp). Failure means you fall down.
