Hi Don

Well just pointing out that in most cases halving road speed is obviously going to give you incorrect cross country speeds I use the tarrif site to illustrate just how wrong the speeds can be using this method. The M3 for example is a little more than one or two hexes out, its 7 hexes out ie its going twice as fast as it should cross country. No doubt there are other similar cases.

SAYS WHO CHUCK???? ONE gaming website and you are basing all of your ideas on that. Find me two other CREDITABLE sources that give the cross country speed for an M3 Halftrack. Good luck. None of the books I have at home list it's cross country speed and none of the websites I checked list it so WHERE did the tarrif site get their info ? In fact, while searching I found FIVE different "road speeds" listed ranging from 61 kph to 88 kph.( 61 / 64.4 / 67.6/ 72 / 88 )Who's right and who's wrong ? 45 MPH is a common road speed given for that vehicle but cross country speed ??....... Where did that ONE website get that info and why do you assume always that if you find info in variance to what we have in the game that your source is correct ?

As for "Is battleground europe free" is it because you can play this game for free the ONLY reason you are here?
