Can anyone explain how to use a hex grid for a table based Role Play Game?

Question

I'm managing a Prime Directive table top RPG, and I was trying to make sense of the Hex system. Please note this is not the GURPS version. I may put an image up to show you what the GameMasters Screen tells me about it Other details may follow in order to help you help me.

Answer 1

I don't know Prime Directive specifically, but it's not too different. When you move, or count spaces for other reasons, just move or count hex by hex.

Some find it a more natural way to model location and turning, since there are no spaces that intersect at a corner - every direction is into another space.

Answer 2

Only a desent university degree will help you understand that sort of stuff
