Player Briefing: **Movement rates are given in yards per minute. One yard equals one Millimeter of tabletop area. **. NOTES ON ENEMY MOVEMENT Generally much faster than 'civilized troops'. Foot warriors move at 100, trot at 150 and charge at 200yds per minute. Camel troops similar to the above. Native cavalry move at 125, trot at 200 and charge at 300yds per minute. Native artillery move at slower speeds than 'civilized troops', as the guns are drawn by bullocks. Native troops live there, so they are more used to rough ground and less likely to be effected by it. They may also know better ways through or around rough patches than you do…. SO DO NOT NECESSARILY TRUST THE PREVIOUS MOVEMENT RATES. What is rough ground for you might be normal movement for them!!!
