If you can deal with Large creature movement, though, everything else works fine.
For creatures that are centered on an intersection, the easiest way is to look at it like the cities in Settlers of Catan... One "space" of movement moves the center of the creature to any of the six intersections that are two intersections away. Like so:

An interesting thought...

Blasts could be easily turned back into "cones" when using a hex grid. A Blast 3, for example, would simply be a triangle that has 3 hexes to a side.
