<< Now a Km is 5/8 of a mile so rounding a lot lets say 6.5 miles * 6.5 miles. Somebody once figured this as about the size of a DP hex. However, I also noted that there is no room here for waste (esp. in hill country not all your land will be usable) or buffer zones between clans. I think that 15*25 mile in TR probably represents max size, but also that 6.5 *6.5 represents minumum. A tula will fall somewhere in between.

Nor I yours, I was trying to back you up by saying I had calculated similar numbers. My only difference of opiniion would be that the numbers from the clan generator do not have any allowabnce for waste ground, but I agree that the tula size of 15*25 miles cannot be wholly explained by that figure and an estimate of a DP hex seems better.
