[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 9008987, member: 28487"] Ya know, it would be really helpful if you stated your thesis clearly and in plain language rather than throwing out random fact and letting the readers to try and discern the meaning. I really do no understand your complaint. I am going to ignore the soccer field, swimming pool and empire state building because I would have to look up the dimensions and I could not be arsed. So, your issue seems to be that at maximum longbow range you would need 10 feet of tabletop to represent the distance to scale. You know in 40 year of playing D&D this has never been an issue, either in person or online. There is such a thing as theatre of the mind. There is also such a thing as re-scaling. If your table inch was 10 feet then the extreme range of the longbow is now reduced to 60 inches or 5 feet and if that is too big for your table battle map, why not change the scale more? You can always re-scale again as the engagement range closes. [/QUOTE]
