Another go at it...


QUICK REFERENCE PAGES

1 Page is 10 inches from top to bottom (north to south) by 8 inches
from side to side (east to west).10 one inch hexes cross a Page from
top to bottom and 8 from side to side.1 Melee-hex is 1 inch from
hex-side to opposite hex-side (top to bottom) on the Page and 1 1/4''
from easternmost vertex to westernmost vertex (side to side).1
Melee-hex represent a distance of 1.3m (4.3ft.) from hex-side to
opposite hex-side.4 Pages top to bottom by 5 pages side to side equal
1 large table-map (3.3 feet by 3.3 feet) that is 40 by 40 one inch
hexes.1 Vehicle-hex is 4 Melee-hexes across.1 Mass-hex is 40 meters
(31 Melee-hexes) across from side to opposite side, and roughly 40
Melee hexes across from easternmost vertex to westernmost vertex.There
are about 40 Mass-hexes across per mile.5 Mass-hexes across is 1
furlong (or stadia), or an eighth of a mile.A League is 3 miles,
roughly the distance a man or horse walks in 1 hour.At 1 League per
hour 1 furlong is covered every two and a half minuets.There are about
10 miles per Strategy-hex or 400 Mass-hexes on the Strategy Map.There
are 1600 Mass-hexes across 1 Campaign-square (64,000m or about 40
miles).


Melee Combat Turn Sequence
1 Roll For Initiative2 Renewables3 Movement4 Actions5 End Of Turn Effects
Melee combat between small groups of Figures takes place on the
hex-grid set to a scale of 1.3m (4.3 feet) across each hex with each
turn covering about 5 seconds of time.MA 10 is roughly 6mph or about 2
Leagues per hour which is twice the historical value for walking
travel in Leagues.

Vehicle Combat takes place on the hex-grid set to a scale of about
17.3 feet (~5.3m, 4 Melee-hexes) across each hex with a turn covering
about 1 second and each phase taking about a tenth of a second of
time.Cars typically move in increments of 10mph and cover 1 hex per
each 10mph of speed per turn.Each 10mph of movement equals a Melee MA
of 20.A Melee MA 10 moves half a Vehicle-hex in 1 Vehicle-turn in a
full move.

End of Turn phase
Mass combat takes place on the hex-grid set to a scale of about 40m
(~31 Melee-hexes) across each hex and each turn covering about 2
minutes (24 Melee-turns, 1/30 of 1 hour) of time.A Melee MA 10 moves
about 8 Mass-hexes in 1 Mass-turn in a full move.10mph is 16
Mass-hexes per Mass-turn.5 Mass-hexes across are a furlong (1/8
mile).There are about 40 Mass-hexes per mile (4 Pages n/s by 5 Pages
e/w per square mile).Roughly 1000 (961) Figures can fit into 1
Mass-hex at a separation of 1 Figure per Melee-hex (1b by 1b square)
in 31 ranks and 31 files.1 Mass-hex is about 39 Melee-hexes from
vertex to opposite vertex (1 1/4b).

Strategic MapFor very large Mass combats it can be helpful to keep a
larger scale map for a full overview and quick resolution of combats
well away from the immediate location of the party.Generally,
increasing the scale by 1 order of magnitude from the Mass combat
scale is convenient.With 1 mile equaling about 40 Mass-hexes across,
the same 40 hexes would represent 10 miles across on a Strategic
Map.At 10mph it would take 1 hour (30 Mass-turns) to cross a 40 by 40
hex (4 by 5 10b by 8b Pages) Strategic Map.20mph 30min across

Game-world Actions take place on the Campaign Map with each square of
travel representing about 40 miles (~65km) and Action times lasting 1
or more hours, with a turn representing a day.A Melee MA 10 takes a
minimum of B hours to cross 1 Campaign-square.10mph takes a minimum of
4 hours to cross 1 Campaign-square.40mph takes a minimum of B 1 hour to
cross 1 Campaign-square.100mph takes a minimum of 24 minuets to cross
1 Campaign-square.The Campaign Map is three Pages 10 inches n/s (top
to bottom) by 24 inches e/w (side to side).There are 40 quarter inch
squares n/s (10 hexes, 1 Page) by 96 quarter inch squares e/w (24
hexes, 3 Pages) for a total of 3840 squares.40 miles squared is 1600
square miles.3840 squares times 1600 square miles is 6,144,000 square
miles.96 squares at 40 miles across is 3840 miles (e/w).40 squares at
40 miles across is 1600 miles (n/s).
