Re: [GZG] 15mm Dirtside

Hi Peter,

I don't do 15mm, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. :)

I think that you need to make the determination of what to do about ranges 
based on the size of your table, the terrain density, and how quickly you 
want units to get into battle.  If you want faster action (and DS can be 
slow!) use a bigger modifier.
