For the life of me I cannot figure out how to handle a shape that’s only slightly bigger than one hex? A shape that’s ”3x2” hexes, how does that look???

A (combat) hex is 1 yr across side to side so the easiest way to deal with ”3x2” hexes is have it 3x2 yds and put a hex grid over it. It's quick, fast, and easy.
