Blackcloud’s second lament: Optional Rules, House Rules, and Rules Creep.

Seems to me that 2/3 PLUS 2/3 is 1 1/3...... unless math has changed ever so much over the past 30-40 years. Yes? Then one adds in another hex (along a road) and it's 2 MP for three hexes traveled. Easy peasy! If you ARE a bit short, that's tough. When you're "outta gas, you're outta gas!" (... and the rules are specific on that instance, anyway.)

I think you missed the part where I wrote: "...you move in clear at 1.5 and then along a road at 2/3..."

Yeah I suppose going from halves to thirds is a bit clumsy. Joys for years ahead when I get to playing the 4th edition modules I suppose.
