Glad you didn't notice that the even rows were shifted 
with respect to the odd rows! That was a bug in game.MapHex.

1870 is OK now. 
1856 and 18AL I can do if the NS map hexes are done,
which you apparently are working on.

I was also trying to make the rotation values mathematically correct,
but your updates crossed mine. 

If you declare
  public final double static DEG60 = Math.PI/3,
(60 degrees = pi/3 radians)
then the rotation is simply

- for NS hexes: tileOrientation * DEG60
- for EW hexes: (0.5+tileOrientation) * DEG60

so you don't need an array anymore.

Erik.
