I was wondering if anyone has played DP with offset tiles? I've been using these for a lot of my games, and was thinking about modifying some of the DP tiles and seeing if they work in the game. With offset tiles diagonal movement is a snap - you can move to any square that the one you are currently in is touching. There may be another or a better name for what I am describing - maybe these pics will give you an idea of what I mean.

I have always known them as Square Hex tiles (Square Hex Grid) because in reality it simulates a Hex map. This is always cool to play on, although some people dislike the zig-zag movement to travel in one direction.
I don't know what the reason was for not using them in DP???

As far as I remember (take it for what it is worth...) we did not want to use hex squares or hex maps.
No reason more than we had to choose to go with something and chose common squares.

Simplicity. I figured DP would played by kids as well as adults. Also coordinated are easier figured on a standard grid.
