GLOSSARY

Head-to-Head (H2H): See Face-to-Face (FtF).

 
Hex (Hexagon): Traditional unit of measurement on boardgame maps used also to determine sighting. (diagram – hexside, centre dot) Squad Leader introduced the concept of drawing LOS using the actual terrain depictions rather than having the entire hex determine who could see what.  
House Organ: A magazine published by a game company in order to highlight its own offerings. The General was the first such magazine, and carried no advertising (save for Avalon Hill products) and very limited mentions of the products of other companies. Other house organs had more open approaches to advertising and discussing competitor’s games.
