[QUOTE="griffonwing, post: 5867525, member: 26609"] I can see where you are coming from. And in essence, you are somewhat correct. However, also compare this... HM allows complete movement freedom every second. This allows you to literally dance across the battlefield, while STILL being fully engaged in combat while your opponent follows. dnd1e, as you said, gave you a basic weapon speed of 60. Yes, there were assumed hits and misses during that time, but you stayed right where you started (if you played on a grid). 3e was the same. You could only take a 5ft step every 6 seconds and still be engaged. If you went further, free Attack of Opportunity. In HM, you can move 30ft in the 6 seconds, 5 ft per seconds, and constant movement. Your allies can move into pincher formation much easier than trying to break it down into 6-second blocks, and hoping you times it just perfectly. I honesty cannot compare to GURPS as I do not have the system. [/QUOTE]
