A 5:7 AP ratio between a horizontal/vertical of one square and a diagonal movement of one square is pretty close to perfect. The actual number is 5:7.07168, but who's counting. If a unit is charged 5 APs for a horizontal or vertical move into a given terrain, and 7 APs for a diagonal move into the same type of terrain, the different movement costs are fairly accurately reflected. And you get all the advantages of the isometric view over the hexes.

I haven't seen any of SC2 yet, since I only just heard about it by snooping at Battlefront. This is great news! Apparently there's a beta out? May I try it? Perhaps premature to ask, but is a release date projected? Great to hear Hubert has been in the kitchen to cook up something else nice! I am still enjoying the first Strategic Command.
