External Link: Mathewson's Hexagonal Chess

Same board as Glinski's Hexagonal Chess, but with a different initial array.

From the site:

Moves are as per Glinski Hexagonal chess with the following difference:

Pawns are not allowed an initial double move, and therefore there is no En passant rule.

Pawn promotion can only happen on back hexagons previously occupied by opposing forces.
