If you feel like trying that, OK with me, otherwise I will happily
pick it up later. I'm a bit busy now with other matters,
so it may take a few days before I'll become active again.

All good stuff.

I still suspect that we will need Station (or City) objects as a
bridge between MapHex and Token objects. But first I'm curious
to see what John has on offer regarding Tile objects.
