Re: (TFT) Animated TFT Battles
Encylopedia as Rules.
Encumbrance, a good race Horse, and "A Place For My Stuff".
1 HP = 550lbs lift 1ft per second.
1 HP = 110lbs lift 5ft per second.
39.37 in per meter
1.3m = 52.49in ~ 4.3ft
1 HP ~ 130lbs lift 1hex per second or 5 hexes per turn.
2 HP moves 130lbs 10 hexes in 1 turn.
Joe Average
[HTH 1d-3 Dam, max 3]
ST 10 * 10 lbs = 100lbs force * 6 (1 die) = 600lbs max force / 100lbs
(1pt Dam) = 6pts max (this allows for relative ST)Dam -3 (bare hands)
= 3pts max HTH dam.

ST to Bodyweight
10 * 10 - 100 Featherweight 60 kg (132.25 lb) S 292 lbs. J 368 lbs.
130 lbs bodyweight (Joe Average)
15 * 15 - 225 Super-hvywt Over 110 kg (242.5 lb) S 442 lbs. J 564.25 lbs.

25 * 25 - 625

650 lbs bodyweight
This is 26 lbs per 1pt ST
650 lbs is roughly twice the maximum weight ever recorded 1187 lbs (6'2").
Weights of up to 1400 lbs have been estimated.
1069 lbs is undisputed, Robert Earl Hughes 6' 0.5".
8'11.1" (9ft) tallest person, Robet Wadlow.
Mr. Wadlows weight @9' was 439lbs, with 491 lbs being his largest
recorded weight.
Goliath of Gath (c. 1060 BC) 6 cubits (inner elbow to tip of middle
finger, measured by Joe Average) and 1 span (distance from tip of
thumb to tip of pinkie across a spread palm) or a tad over nine and a
half feet tall (2 hexes).
Angus MacAskill 7'9" non-pathological.
Encumbrance Levels (Joe Average body weight to Horsepower)
130, 260, 390, 520, 650, 780, 910, 1040, 1170, 1300, 1430, 1560, 1690,
1820, 1950, 2080, 2110, 2240
Ouch, I'm off by 10lbs.
I'll call it wiggle room and count it good.
That's 18 encumbrance levels @130lbs per level to cover ST30 Shift.
2370 and 2500(1.25 tons) make levels 19 and 20.
ST 30 Shifts 3/4 its ST in ELs.
ST 20 Shifts 2/5 its ST in ELs.
ST 10 Shifts 1/5 its ST in ELs.
Encumbrance as Horsepower
Horsepower, unit of power in the English system, for measuring the
rate at which an engine or other prime mover can perform mechanical
work. It is usually abbreviated hp. Its electrical equivalent is 746
watts, and the heat equivalent is 2545 British thermal units per hour.
One horsepower was originally defined as the amount of power required
to lift 33,000 pounds 1 foot in 1 minute, or 550 foot-pounds per
second.
Scottish engineer and inventor James Watt established this value for
the horsepower after determining in practical tests that horses could
haul coal at the average rate of 22,000 foot-pounds per minute. He
then arbitrarily raised this figure by a factor of one-half to
establish the current value. In the metric system, 1 horsepower is
sometimes called force de cheval or cheval-vapeur and is defined as
4500 kilogram-meters per minute, which is equivalent to 32,549
foot-pounds per minute, or 0.986 of the English horsepower unit.
Three different horsepower values are used to quote the performance of
an engine: (1) Indicated horsepower is the theoretical efficiency of a
reciprocating engine, which is determined from the pressure developed
by the cylinders of the engine; (2) brake or shaft horsepower is more
commonly used to indicate the practical ability of the engine, or the
maximum performance, which is the indicated horsepower minus the power
lost through heat, friction, and compression; (3) rated horsepower is
the power that an engine or motor can produce efficiently for
sustained periods of time.
Electric motors are capable of surges of power far in excess of their
rated horsepower (see Electric Motors and Generators). British
automobile engines are classified in rated horsepower, but their brake
horsepower may be four to six times the rated horsepower. The power
output of American automobile engines is quoted in brake horsepower,
most being rated between 60 and 200 horsepower.

There's that pesky 10lbs again.
I'm obviously not trying for accuracy.
Remember however;
"In the metric system, 1 horsepower is sometimes called force de
cheval or cheval-vapeur and is defined as 4500 kilogram-meters per
minute, which is equivalent to 32,549 foot-pounds per minute, or 0.986

So fudging both ends ought to help a bit.

I am Indie with his pistol and the rest are still swinging swords.
I like swordplay, so I only shoot the ones that threaten.
I find that I start with an ideal of my goal.
IF I put effort into it, I find that I have to make compromises to
"make it work".
I have a poor ability to stand back and assess my goal while trying to
"make it work".
This makes it easy to loose my ideal.
I wonder if this happens to anyone else?
