I kind of figured that was the one you meant, because I have played some scenarios (in that series) where the wagons go about 6 hexes per turn along the roads (which is more noticeable when the scenario involves a lot of marching from different units and the wagons can start getting "lapped" by oncoming units from divisions that arrive later).

Then you have something like at least one of the PDTs (maybe all of them for all I know) in 2nd Bull Run from Campaign Antietam where the wagons are rolling at nearly the speed of marching infantry (on the roads).

The way things work with Tiller's games; the turned based ones at any rate, is that the lead scenario designers get to set up the parameter data tables however they like. Assigning movement points are part of the parameter data table, means what you are seeing isn't an engine issue, it would have been set that way by the different games' scenario designers.

Short of expecting a person to delve through all of the different titles' Designer Notes, it would be impossible for users to even work out if this is an intended effect, or an oversight. I don't know that, I personally, would expect that of guys -which means that when I can grab some time I will have a look at all of those and pass it along if I find anything. (As well as post it).
