HistorySmith72 -> Basic Question: Hex Distances (7/9/2010 3:56:12 AM)

I thought that when you were designing a scenario you could specify that a single hex is equal to several hexes in order to create vast distances without actually having hexes on the map, i.e. "set distance".

I have tested several cases and it doesn't seem to be working. What am I missing here?

Example:
Hex1 = Normal
Hex2 = Set distance +5
Hex3 = normal

Unit had 10 movement points goes from Hex1 to Hex3 via Hex2. Shouldn't the unit expend 5 movement points? In all my test cases it expends 2 movement points.[&:]

Thanks!

The distance only applies to ranged units, not physical movement. Set a distance to 100, and an adjacent air unit with a range of 95 can't reach in, but a ground unit can move right in. I think.

It is commonly used to model distant airfields

What about ship or train movement?

I'd put my money on the case being the same as with land movement. The feature basically affects range, not movement.
