FWWC Movement Rates--help!

[Plain Ian]

Hi Rick and thanks for this.

I've solved the mystery: turns out that selecting Phased Play (i.e. "Manual Defensive Fire") in the Optional Rules Dialog affects the movement rate of units.

I had gotten used to playing JTS games in Phased mode (coming to FWWC via the Napoleonic & Seven Years War games) and so had selected Manual Defensive Fire in the Optional Rules Dialog.

But when I unchecked the Manual Defensive Fire option my units suddenly got their movement rates extended.

Another PzC mystery solved. Game Engine 1 v Bugs 0. 

In the screen shots above you can see that the game automatically reduces all units movement allowances down by 1/3 rd when you select MD so you only cover 2/3 rd of the distance but use the same movement costs for terrain. 

However does this not mean 'movement rates' are slower? Mmh.
