[MEDIA=youtube]E_29g0BDjQE[/MEDIA]This is a 4 hour single combat and very few PCs were in movement distance of one another the whole fight.  At one point one PC starts moving towards another for 3 straight rounds to try to get into touch range of another frightened PC (and never actually gets there).2:  [MEDIA=youtube]G-iE1g9FN1c[/MEDIA]There are three combats in this stream, the first one starting at 58 minutes and through that 4-round combat all 4 Pcs were never within 30 feet of each other (note the squares are 10 foot each).There is a second combat that starts at 2:13 and again at no point are all 4 PCs within movement of each other. There is a 3rd combat in this starting at about 2:58 and the end of round 1 is the only time they are all within movement range of each other.  It looks like at the begining of round 1 they are, however there are two allies between the northmost and southmost ally, and difficult terrain to the east, so they can not all reach each other until the one ally moves out of the way near the end of the round.  A bad guy then moves into the gap and makes it two groups of two and then one of the weaker characters backs up, as a result it is part of one  round out of seven they can all reach each other.3:  [MEDIA=youtube]7FQpEKhhu1o[/MEDIA]There are two combats in this stream.  A combat starts at about 20:00 and they are all within reach of each other in most of the rounds.  They were within reach not for the begining of round 2 and rounds 9, 10 and 11, but they are for all the rest  So overall I will say 8 of 11 rounds they were all within movement range of each other.Another combat starts about 2:30 and the PCs are all within walking distance of one another in round 1 and 3 out of four rounds of combatResult:So in those three streams you have about 40 rounds of combat or so and the PCs are all within walking distance of one another about 13 out of those 40 or so rounds.  I think this is pretty typical.  Note I did not look for examples to prove my point, these are the last 3 D&D games this DM posted.</blockquote>
