I am gonna nominate you as the new US presenter of Top Gear.

Your credentials ?

The need for speed !

Actually my complaint about mechanized speed goes back to my reading of AARs of the period involving armor and my own desire for a better simulation without damaging the underlying system. The Americans & Germans were very good about talking about speed (when they did), British & Russians less so, other guys (French, Italians & Japanese) were usually very vague. Scaling reported speeds to the infantry speeds had most tanks moving 3-4 times as fast as the ground-pounders, when they were moving on their own.

Anyway the numbers work out like this. Moving across open ground, then vs. now:

Movement points	3rd Ed Speed	4th Ed Speed
3	1	2
4	2	2
5	2	3
6	3	4
7	3	4
8	4	5
9	4	6

I do have a philosophical gaming issue with the new movement rate: I don't think fractional movement costs should be part of the normal movement process.

P.S. Drew how does one align a table on the left side of the post?
