Let's put it this way.....no matter what we do somebody will think a different way is better and for them it might be.... and for others maybe no so much.

We *could* code the game so roads are not considered in a human move and that might make you happy but not someone who is trying to move a convoy of units down a winding road behind the lines and they keep wandering into the weeds.

The "move only one hex at a time in critical situations" has been SOP for (literally) a generation of SP players. In less critical moves you can usually get away with 2-3 at a time but if you suspect you might be observed and could come under fire moving one hex at a time is no different than if you were moving through a forest in RL knowing an ambush is possible. You would not expose yourself and move for an extended amount of time.....same with the game

A further point related to this is map-making.... if you are trying to place a road exactly you DO NOT pick a point far away from your starting point and expect the road to be placed the way you want it to be.( ESPECIALLY if it crosses a stream or river or swamp ) It has to be placed in short sections just as movement needs to be done...less critical placement can be done over greater distances, critical placement had to be done one at a time the same as movement
