Firstly the Move Multiplier should be not be an additive term, so I counted every hex on the GEV map and ratio'ed off each unit's move on a map covered by each type by its ratio of occurance. Note that I took heavy's movement in swamp to be zero, and GEV's in forest to be 2/3rds of a hex per turn, because that's what it'll be in the long run. GEV: 81%, Msl tank: 86%, heavy tank: 95%, Ogre mkV: 97%, Infantry: 104% Unlike my earlier estimates MM is rarely "positive". -HJC] Henry J.
