How to turn a hex into a friendly hex?

Post by Fred98 »

I am advancing. The enemy is withdrawing. All the nearby hexes are vacant of enemy troops. I surround one hex by occupying the hexes on all 6 sides but I do not occupy the hex.

Does the hex turn friendly by default, or instead, do I have to mop up every hex as I advance?

Hexes convert as you move along. There are calculations made that basically say the following.

If there is a hex with zero supply that I don't control and I have a hex with supply next to it then that hex becomes mine.

So in your case that hex converts to your control. Yes it is a pain in the butt to take all hexes you don't own.

Also units take the hexes they travel in and the surrounding ones within a 1 hex radius as long as those hexes are not resources or have an enemy unit. You can take control of a nearby forest but if you walk past Minsk you won't.
