Exactly. The reason we never tied things down in FT (though we've been a
little more specific in the FB, but this ONLY refers to the "official"
GZG
background) is that these units will be completely different for each
background - "semi-realistic" may have 1 inch/mu as several thousand Km,
a
B5 style background might have an mu as a few hundred Km or less, and in
Trek-style it would be down to hundred of metres!!
