----> Seems a little slow vs. real world speeds (a vehicle unit covering
25k per day?
Think of what that comes out to per hour. That said, if it keeps the
proper ratio of
movement vs map space for your campaign, go for it.
        By this I mean how many turns do you want for units to cross the map ?
1 turn ? 10 turns? the longer it takes, the "bigger" the map feels and
the harder
it is to respond to enemy attacks with reinforcements. You're probably
going
to have to try this a few times before it feels right.
