I've looked at a saved game, and the distance for an Earth Attack assassination, according to "W" (to get rid of the background animation and set up the 'grid') is 11. But the Earth Elemental on its turn only moves 7 spaces, even though it has 14 AP.

So does each grid square take 2 AP to cross? (I guess this is part of the movement mechanics I've never learned or paid attention to previously)

And do all assassinations, whether directly or by remote spell, all occur at the same distance? 11 'grid squares'? And do bodyguards and auto-summons change that?

SciencePro was asking about regular battlefield size, and how troop numbers effect that, and I'm pretty sure greater troop numbers expand the field (so a LA Ermor battlefield should be pretty huge, right?) - does that expansion still apply to assassinations, and the few extra units that might take place in that?

And, without running a boring test game and waiting for it to happen, does anyone know the starting distance between combatants in Death Matches?
