Froggy the Great 62058 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 A hex is exactly what it is in 1/160 scale. The ground-scale and the height-scale in CAV are the same, except for Aircraft and some vehicles, for model-cost reasons. Each turn is supposedly around 6 seconds.

SaintRigger 130 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 Not silly questions at all. 1 Hex = 1 inch = about 15 feet (Figuring N scale is 1/160 and therefore 1 foot = 160 feet, 1 inch would be 160/12 or 13.33) (Actually, the hexes are a bit bigger, but you get the idea) Turns are a bit of an abstraction in terms of time scale, but it represents just a few moments. (Obviously to have a jet swoop in and strafe a target would take less time than to have an APC land and infantry deploy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earthwalker 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 I Guess that Depends on how the Infantry are deployed, and if they have any Say in the matter. Not that I would wish it on anyone, but *DUMP* is alot faster than "please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop" Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brother Jim 2916 Report post Posted April 5, 2005 so the ground scale of the hex/movement point is 15 feet ?!?!?!?!?!? okay, thanks (thought it was bigger !!!!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrome 1752 Report post Posted April 5, 2005 "only 15 feet" works out to be an average speed of around 75mph for most CAVs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earthwalker 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2005 I would guess closer to 60 MPH. All I Remeber is that 60 MPH is = 88 fps. 88 feet = almost 6 Hexes. Tim (thinks this just leaves the Range Lacking....) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintRigger 130 Report post Posted April 11, 2005 I try not to get my CAV up past 88 mph, or else the flux capicator kicks in, and it disappears off the table in a streak of flaming footprints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Froggy the Great 62058 Report post Posted April 11, 2005 ...though it makes for a good exit strategy if your damaged CAV can still make that speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
