• (x,y) coordinates are used for wargame calculations

1. unit location
2. line of sight
3. lines of communication and supply lines

• Hexagons are identified with a label - hexagon labels ARE NOT coordinates

• use Hexagon Name Calculations to convert names to coordinates

• 3 types of points for wargame terrain calculations

1. hexagon point: hexagon location e.g. woods, town, fortress
2. grid point: hexside location e.g. river, stream
3. edge point: hexagon edge location e.g. slope, gully

      roads, railroads, paths use both hexagon points and grid points locating terrain on the map
