[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8169047, member: 7006"] Sure it's easy to remember, but just slightly more irritating to add and occasionally leaves remainders. None of which are "difficult" to deal with by any stretch, don't get me wrong... but counting every square of movement the same regardless of direction is just easi-[I]er[/I]. :) Now the difference in ease between the two will probably be the thinnest of hairs for some people... but I know for me I care so little about true measurement and the like on the grid that I never saw the need to bother with the knowledge that a hypotenuse is longer than either leg. If worrying about true distances really mattered, we wouldn't be using a grid at all, we'd use tape measures like the Warhammer folks do. So once we handwaved true distances by using a grid, handwaving all the nitpicky distance details to make it as simple as possible was just the sensible thing for us. [/QUOTE]
