BTW, as a personal wish: could the strategic movement chart be redesigned?

I'd wish it to give the time needed to cross x miles of terrain, instead of
the other way round.

Why? Because you don't measure time on a chart, rather distances. Then you
compute the time needed to cover the distance. I know, it's equivalent in the
end, but...

....to move one inch on a M-E map in hours is .....

	Road	Open	Frst.	Rgh.	F/Rgh.	Swmp.	Mtn.	Snd.	Snw.

Oh, and please, switch to the international metric system!!!!!!!!
