Question - how many men per mile?

[Davinci]

Ah, Davinci, I now know what this thread is about. The map is scaled for SR4, stock ratio. So, for example, for SR1 play to be accurately scaled, it would require a 4X map. Are we through here now...finally...done? :woohoo:

Yeah , I guess so, as long as it is OK that I'm still confused, I guess that I can let this go!

Yes. For a double line of men it will take 11,734 of them to fill a 5 mile gap. Since 4 men = 1 sprite

We get: 11,734 men/5 miles / 4 men/sprite = 2933 sprites/5 miles.

For these kinds of calculations, it is always a good idea to write down the units the numbers actually represent. That way the person can see what is cancelling out and what is left over. If the wrong units are left over, the answer will also be wrong.

Thanks, MTG , but for this to work the default size of the sprites have to be increased to roughly twice their original size.

OK , now I’m through with this again…..
