I'm likewise unconvinced by that section of the article (which is interesting to read nonetheless!). The benefit of hexes is that every neighbor is the same. There are no "special" kind of adjacencies, like with squares or triangles, where you must decide how to consider corners, whether to allow diagonals, etc. So hexes are the only ones that don't mess up distances nor require separate kinds of adjacencies. Also: if tracing a line from the center point of the origin triangle, some of those paths require crossing another adjacent triangle (different from the "direction" triangle). This to me signals this triangular grid is wonky for wargames/games.
