Hmm. I had figured that was covered in the writeup, myself. I can be
a bit more explicit - there's also rules for forced marches (but
unlike the rest of the article, that bit has not been cleared by
Issaries). I'm leery of playing the fraction game too heavily as one
can get ludicrous (though possibly realistic) numbers. We don't have
the benefits of Roman Roads in Wenelia - it's more like the voyageurs
of the fur trade or travel in Dark Ages Europe... at least outside of
the Trade Path that is.
However, there's a limited amount of space I'm willing to devote in
an 80 page book to getting around - even if trade and travel and
running like heck is a major focus of the book.
Glad you like it though!
