I'd direct that question straight to Ward, and do it on the Consimworld PB forum. Ward and the others there are working through the same or similar issues with these maps.
Thanks Carl, I didn't know if I should capitalize on the consimworld site with what is my own personal problem but, if as you say they are working through those issues, I will fire away! .... I also misprinted the size of the hexes.... I believe they are more like 11/16 of an inch..
