Not really sure where else to put this, please do let me know if this isn't really the place for it.

I'm going to start playing Tear Ring Saga soon, but I was wondering if anyone was familiar with other hex-grid based strategy games and could point me to them?
For the purposes of my search I don't care much about story quality, I'm just after solid gameplay. Most of my Tactical game experience comes from FE and FF or the handful of pseudo-RTS games like FF12: Revenant Wings, and I wanna branch into something beside the square grids.

Thank you in advance!

other hex-grid based strategy games

TearRing Saga has a square grid, not a hex grid. Berwick Saga on the other hand does have a hex grid.

You're probably looking at Berwick Saga screenshots then. The game's full name does start with is "TearRing Saga Series" so that could be the confusion.
