This is Top Secret (didn't make it into the manual):

Hexscales have been expanded to include: 0.25km, 0.5km, 1km, 100km, and 200km.

Time scales have been expanded to include: 1 hour, 3 hours, 2 weeks, full month, seasonal, and annual.

These are all still sort of "experimental", and got a minimum of check out. So expect a few issues at first.

I designed one scenario that uses 0.25km hexes and 1 hour turns: Shiloh 1862.

Curtis is one of the developers, so listen to him. :) The extension of the scale he wrote about was a last minute addition we managed to pull off, that's why it is not mentioned by the manual.

That is a huge change!

The scope it brings to the game is boggling!

maybe an idea to put that in his sig then, and for one i had no idea, so i'd guess most other won't either, i for one don't mind debating a point with another user on any given point or subject, but to not know who was a developer and have a debate with them, is another thing, or i may not have been so, looking for the right word,

googles one that fits

controvert, maybe

or at least contentious with multiple replies

but none of these fits perfectly either, so maybe i was just an @se

If you're suggesting that I replace my magnificent Curtis Lemay avatar with one of those dufus "Staff" avatars, I'd rather die.

And Bob, I use the term 'old' with the utmost respect.

So at .25 and .5 and 1 K there is line of sight rules in the game now? That would mean at 250 meters per hex some units could shoot quite a few hexes in WWII and a heck of a long ways in modern scenarios.

Boy this is interesting!

Only by house rule.

I already answered this in post #2.
