[Campaign] cubic moves

Most people find adding up 2's and 3's easier than 1.5's ;-)

You can expand the above method for a 3-d cubic grid:

2 MP = move across a cube's face ( like a 2-dim edge )
3 MP = move across a cube's edge ( like a 2-dim corner )
4 MP = move across a cube's corner ( a reasonable approximation of 2 *
Sqrt(3) = 3.73...)

BTW, if you want to go to 4-d movement, a hyperspace cube diagonal move
would be precisely 4 ( = 2 * SQRT(4)) in the above scheme.

Well then add 3/2...  It's all the same.  :-]

I like fractions. Why most people are so affraid of them I don't know and
don't understand.  So I preffer 1MP, 3/2 MP, 11/4 MP, or in constant
denominators 4/4, 6/4, 11/4.

I prefer decimanls, actually ;-)

To add them up, you have to go to common denominators (at least in your head).
Then for a game, you might as well drop the denominator and handle just the
top numbers. BTW, what's the technical name of them in English? I learned my
Math in German.
