Moderator Froggy the Great Posted April 4, 2005 Moderator Share 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 Posted April 4, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthwalker Posted April 4, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jim Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 so the ground scale of the hex/movement point is 15 feet ?!?!?!?!?!? okay, thanks (thought it was bigger !!!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 "only 15 feet" works out to be an average speed of around 75mph for most CAVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthwalker Posted April 10, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRigger Posted April 11, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted April 11, 2005 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2005 ...though it makes for a good exit strategy if your damaged CAV can still make that speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthwalker Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 ROFLMAO! Flux capacitor! Didn't know that Delorean was making CAVs!!!!!!! <thinking a Stainless steel CAV might look good next to the Gold plated Dictator....> Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPilot Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hey, it might be a good idea to somehow immortalize the DeLorean name, as Mr. D himself died last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
