    The unit using Easy terrain is in travel mode, no combat actions
allowed! Before moving the unit, indicate to your opponent the course
and
the rough end point of movement, eg "I'm moving this unit in Travel
mode,
along this road over the open ground to the base of this hill here."
Feel
free to pre-measure distances to ensure that the unit can reach it's
desired
end point.
    If your unit travels within view of five (or any number! of)
unactivated
enemy units, your opponent can feel free to activate her unit/s as
desired
and blow your unit away! If your unit is still in fit condition to move,
they must still continue on to their destination. If they pass in front
of
another unactivated enemy unit, your opponent can interrupt yet again!
Does
the phrase "turkey shoot" seem appropriate?
    The double move in Easy terrain is not unbalancing!
