RE: [GZG] Nothing to do with dice (honest)

For hex movement, using something like the "Maximum Tech" double blind
rules
for Battletech converts easily.

With 3MU/hex(round speed to nearest multiple), MD4 at speed 12, you
write
orders like F2P1F2P1.
The ships get slightly larger turns (still 1/2MD in turns), but you can
do
*really* fancy manoeuvers.
Say the same with advanced drives: S1F2P2F2S1+2
