The range is counted from the inclusive hex. So a range of 1 means the hex it's in. A range of 9, is only 8 hexes.[;)]

Don't ask me why, it's just the way it is.[;)]

uhmmm...radius is a distance...
say, TF may move 1 hex, it doesn't mean that TF stays in its hex[8|]
so Command Radius 1 hex should mean that HQ give benefits to units in the same hex and units 1 hex far away[:-]

Faulty premise. Remember that the hex itself has a radius. You are measuring command radius here, not movement radius. So, it is perfectly reasonable to see "command radius of one" as referring to the hex the HQ occupies.

In any event, that's just how it is, so we live with it.

Well..not to be too pedantic..but a hexagon doesnt real have a radius anyway [;)]

Even if it were a circle the radius is only half of the diameter, so the command radius should be 1/2 [:D]

In any event..I have to go back and move a bunch of units around now [:@]

Well not to be too pedantic, but 1/2 also has no meaning for radius without the units. [;)]

Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.
