You could check out MegaMek (http://sourceforge.net/projects/megamek/) 
for some ideas (it's written in java, but the games are similar enough).

A lot of people use PyGame (http://www.pygame.org/) for games.  So, 
there might be a project already there that souce can help you.  I know 
there is some games that use hex maps on the project page.

Hope that helps.
