Hi all
Been reading through the rule book and have notice a discrepancy in the what are shown as CM [Inches].
In the change of orders table you have (1) 30cm[24"]. But in movement rates table (2) 34cm[20"] and firing ranges (3) 35cm[21"].
1 is shorter in cm's but longer in inches than 2 ?
and 3 is only 1 cm longer than 2 but also 1" longer ?
Can you help

Mick, I'd just download and use the Angus Wargames Quick Reference Sheet for 15mm, referenced in the "Playsheet" 'sticky' thread at the top of this Forum. It incorporates all the errata/typo fixes, and expresses all distances in centimeters for you. (The second set of sheets for 25mm uses Imperial.) _________________ Bryce Allen |

Thanks Greystreak.
I have just downloaded them myself. But my point was that when put side by side as in the main rule book that do not match. something at 30cm cannot be longer in inches than another thing at 34cm no matter how you do the maths.
I suppose that is not what I should be looking at but treating each seperate as the 2 new downloadable sheets have down.But it does look strange in the main book.

M,
Ignore any ratio for the command radius - it’s larger in 28mm to account for the disproportionately larger size of the figures, bases and brigade areas.
The difference between 34cm [20"] and 35cms [21"] is simply the divide where it moves into the next bracket.

Thanks DB. I knew it would something simple.
I will be doing GatG in 6mm with ineffect smaller bases ie 20x20 2ranks of 4 figs (inf) and was thinking of using inches as cm's ie 12"=12cm.
This is due to lack of space. Or should I just halve the inches ?

M,
I had to get my tape measure out for this one!
On first impressions I would go with inches substituted for cms and see how that goes.
