Looks very cool, and looks like you've got a lot done on it.
Personally, I think it needs to be a little grungier, a little more like those Battletech figures and board pieces. Like, the hexagons look very clinical. For example, say you made 3 hexagon pieces for each type of terrain, sand, grass, rock etc - just a texture job and a normal map for each, so they look a bit more like some diehard Battletech wargamer painstakingly made them and added flux grass painted highlights etc. Just a simple normal map would give them that look. Because they pieces are hexagons you could then rotate them to give 6 variations, so with just 3 different pieces per terrain, you could have 18 'different' board pieces. Then just use a random board piece for whatever terrain, and it'd have a more organic look to it. Things like roads, rivers and board pieces that are mixed would of course need to be rotated exactly, but that's the sort of thing that would be fun to work on I think, making nice looking board pieces and seeing them all work together in game.
Also, I'd conside raising the camera height and making it more like a table top. When people play these games, they like to feel like some sort of commander, overlooking the battle and making decisions based on the whole battle - having a more first person view like you have detracts from that I think. Of course that could be an option, but anyway, personally I'd rather play games like that as an overseer, looking over everything and considering all the units in play.
There was a board game developed recently by the Overgrowth team, very tactile - picking up die and cards and game pieces, throwing die, stacking cards, as if you had the actual boardgame right in front of you, that's the sort of thing I'd go for given a chance. Videogame versions of board games and tabletop games always go better when they have tactile elements... rather than playing the tabletop game as if it was real, you play the tabletop game as if your playing the game in a perfect environment designed just for playing that game, with no tidying up afterwards. Hope this makes sense.
I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more memes.
