"When moving at a Pressed rate..."Not that I find a particular issue with Hustle.On a side note, how did you come by your travel numbers? Was it just an expedient "rounding" to fit the 5 mile hexes? Was it meant to be "defined" per say by the weakest link in the party?I'm just curious because 10 miles is about base for a day hike for an inexperienced hiker or for a Large company of marchers. A hardened adventurer, used to carrying a pack of gear would be more akin to a military ruck march.Current Ruck March minimum standards:* Base infantry standard is 12 miles with 35 pounds in 3 hours. * Special Forces standard is 12 miles with 55 pounds in 3 hours. So in game terms that would basically be 20 miles per day (6 hr day) or 40 miles (9 hr day). However, its unlikely the "weaker" members of the party would come close to being able to do this.Or for older military:"From the Manual for Noncommissioned Officers and Privates of Infantry in the Army of the United States, Washington, Government Printing Office, 1918:The rate of march depends greatly upon the condition of the roads and weather, but the average rate for infantry is 2 1/2 miles per hour. This allows for a rest of 10 minutes each hour. The total distance marched in a day depends not only on the rate of march, but upon the size of the command, large commands covering about 10 miles per day, while small commands easily cover double that distance."Mounted movement I think is a bit slow. An average leisurely walk/trot for a horse is about 30 miles per day. For professional riders, the <a href="http://www.teviscup.org/" target="_blank">Tevis Cup</a>, a professional overland endurance race, covers 100 miles per day. The longest race on earth, the <a href="http://www.theadventurists.com/mongol-derby/#whats-the-mongol-derby" target="_blank">Mongol Derby</a> is a 1000km race.Just some food for thought.</blockquote>
