Nope, don't find that funny at all. Not amused, or particularly interested.

You've already broken the movement turn into parts in your mind. I tend to
put the fiddly down to granularity. YMMV, obviously.

In the case of SM's, I already think of them as direct fire weapons, as
they exist for only a single turn, with a somewhat different mechanism.
Unfortunately, they use static MU's in a varying MU movement system.

I was rather amused with it with the first minigame; quickly got fiddly
about the grain of the hex page. Fortunately, those players on this list
who have to get to picking nits tend to be obsessive with their TOE's
instead.
