Well, specifically, I'm trying to imagine turning.  How do I move just one of my
two hexes?  How do I specify final orientation at the target move location?  I
guess you could do some sort of hex-outlining that gives a hint at the final
location and orientation, before a click.  And perhaps a Tetris-style "rotate"
function could let you hit a key to change orientation.

It just seems like moving a two-hex unit is going to be more tricky than a
simple one-hexer.
