FWWC Movement Rates--help!

Hi Rick & thanks for this---appreciated.

I looked at your screenshot and yeah---looks right to me. But in my test scenario things look different. I'm using default files too: Parameter Data="East Front 1914 (early)"; OOB="East Prussia '14". And the game version is 1.03.

I made a further test (using the same files) with B-grade and D-grade units. I saw no difference in movement rates between them (I had expected to see some disparity between B & D units). On a level primary road, in good conditions, both units could move 4 hexes in Travel Mode and 2 Hexes not in Travel Mode. On a secondary road this was reduced to 3 hexes (Travel Mode) and 2 hexes (not Travel Mode).

The things is, each turn represents 2 hours of time. And so these infantry units are moving a maximum of 4km in 2 hours. In rough terrain, or in combat, or as morale drops, this movement rate falls further. I guess that, if turns were 1 hour (not 2) then these movement rates would look more reasonable?

Anyway, I was just curious about the rationale behind the movement rates. :-)
