Intercepting Armies

[MaxWilson]

Counties are pretty small, maybe 50 miles across at most. I understand that it's possible to hike from Denmark to Greece in a month's time; since a hiker would probably have a mapmove of 2, that makes 2500 km/2 = about 1000 km the standard size of a province. On the other hand, armies move slower than individuals, but 15 km/day is still a pretty fair minimum for light infantry. So each province should be at least 225 km across.

In U.S. terms, each province should be about the size of a medium state. Maybe Pennsylvania or Louisiana-sized, not New Mexico or (ack!) California. There's actually a map on the Illwinter web site that lets you play on a map of the U.S., which makes you think about how ridiculously small the armies are, given the territory they control.
