Andrew's War in the Pacific Map version 6.2 - Distances between bases in miles and hexes

< Previous Contents Next >

The table on this page provides some examples of the changes in distance on the modded map. The distances provided are between a number of bases in the game. The five figures provided are:

  1. Real-life distance between the bases in statute miles.
  2. Real-life distance in hexes (miles/60).
  3. Distance in hexes on the official map.
  4. Distance in hexes on my modified map.
  5. Difference between the accuracy of the official map and my modified map in hexes (When my modified map is more accurate the number is positive and highlighted in green; when my map is less accurate the number is negative and highlighted in red)

When time permits I will add some more base distance comparisons to this table.
