 The map is composed of 10 kilometer hexes (5 kilometers to a side, about 65 square km). Hexes have a terrain (such as flatland, hills or forest) and a settlement score. A hex's settlement score equals its population per square kilometer, and is given in multiples of 10. Thinly-populated, near-empty hexes have 10 settlement, densely populated hexes close to cities have 40 settlement.

 An army undergoing a night march travels 10 kilometers per night, or 20 kilometers at a forced march. At the end of the night, check morale. If the road forks, 2-in-6 chance to take the incorrect path. Armies cannot night march off-road.
-Marching armies stretch 1 km of road per 3 000 infantry and noncombatants, 1 250 cavalry, or 30 wagons and artillery. Armies (or groups of armies marching in a single column) stretching longer than 10 kilometers travel only 10 kilometers per day, for a total of 50 miles per week, or 20 kilometers per day at a forced march (for a total of 140 km).
+Marching armies stretch 1 km of road per 3 000 infantry and noncombatants, 1 250 cavalry, or 30 wagons and artillery. Armies (or groups of armies marching in a single column) stretching longer than 20 km take a -2 Out of Formation penalty to battles, increasing with an additional -1 for each 10 km of length beyond that. The penalty reduces by -2 for each day spent stationary.
 When fording a river (rather than crossing a bridge), each mile of infantry in the column requires a half-day to cross. Cavalry ford at their regular speed. Wagons and artillery cannot ford rivers.
