I have already given this game a well-earned 'Excellent'.  I think Tony
is leading the way to some new, exiting Hex Chess games.  The key is
dropping the attempt to translate square geometry into hex
geometry--Heroes is designed to play well in hex from the beginning.  The
email game I have going with Tony is in the endgame--the game is holding
up very well in terms of play value.  

I believe this game is a serious contender to win the 84 Spaces Contest. 
I would be astonished if it didn't at least finish high in the rankings.

I can't help but wonder if dropping the attempt to translate 2D geometry
into 3D would lead to some fine 3D games.
