For PBeM games in FT, an X-Y grid is used & we generally use
spreadsheets to
calculate movement (or by hand for smaller games).
Several people have turn reports & endgame reports on their website
which
will give you an idea of how deadly games can get.
Here's a few of the games I have ready links available to:
Clash on the border (Forgeworld vs Human, pt 2)
http://www.glasscity.net/users/channing/page14.html
Gunslinger 1 (ESU vs FCT superdreadnoughts)
http://users.mcmedia.com.au/~denian/ft/webgames/gunsling/index.htm
Random Strategies (Babylon 5 scenario - 4 races, 1 survivor)
http://users.mcmedia.com.au/~denian/ft/webgames/random/random.htm
There should be links to more from the UFFTWP:
