WoA-Ranges

In this system, a given battlefield is abstracted into Movement Units — that is, how long it takes a normal unit of soldiers to move through a given area.

Base Movement

The Base Movement of a Unit is 1 Movement. When modifiers drop Movement below 1, it effectively adds one Move action to the time it takes to pass through one Movement Unit for each point below 0. Thus, a –1 Movement passes through a Movement Unit in two Move actions, while a –3 would take four Move actions.

• Mounts: +1 Movement, Mobility Penalties for Unit Armor inapplicable; Units must have Ride ratings equal to or greater than Magnitude of Unit; reduce Movement by 1 per dot that Magnitude exceeds Ride.
• Vehicles: Each has its own Movement; Mobility Penalties for Unit Armor inapplicable.

Mobility Penalty Modifiers

• Mobility Penalty 0: +1 Movement
• Mobility Penalty –1: +0 Movement
• Mobility Penalty –2+: –1 Movement per point below –1

Magnitude Modifiers

• Magnitude 0 — 1: +1 Movement
• Magnitude 2 — 5: +0 Movement
• Magnitude 6 — 9: -1 Movement

Terrain Modifiers

• Open: +0 Movement
• Difficult: Half Movement rating (if positive; double negative Movement ratings), Dash actions inflict double normal Morale damage; Mounts reduced to half Movement; Vehicle Movement impossible.
• Extreme: Half Movement rating (if positive; double negative Movement ratings), may not take Dash actions; Mount and Vehicle Movement impossible.
