Measuring at any time

[killme304]

So, for those that have played 6th ed games already, does this slow down the game much? I could easily see measuring everything out at the start of the turn to maximize everything. Kiting would be super easy for units like Venoms since they could always find the exact spot you can't get to them.

Its a plus for shooting armys

but just against bad players, a good one will be able to guess Distances up to 24'' right anyway, so let's call it a buff for the new guys who can need it.

6 games under my belt this week and it doesn't really seem to slow my gaming group down. People who spent time pondering distances are a tad faster and the couple who are measuring more play pretty quick to begin with.

Mostly I see people just confirming what they already knew. Of course this is a group of about 12 people who have been playing together for about five years. Our newest member (only started warhammer 40k a few months ago) hasn't tried the new edition yet and he is so very slow already who knows how long games will last.

There should be less debate over dubious charges now, being able to know in advance whether something is in range and what roll is needed, rather than opponents moving 7", fleeting 6.5", then assaulting 6.1" and going "oh look I'm just in!"

No problems here on slowing things down. The turns however are longer with overwatch, snapfire, wounding the front line models first, and "look out sir". I am sure it will speed up as we get used to the new rules.

It would speed up my games. I take so long to guesstimate distances... measuring would be much faster.
