Speed
The speed of characters for 4th edition is given is a simple number, such as 6. This represents the number of squares on a battle grid a character can move in a round.
The description of movement given in the new handbook is very well done. There is a break down for overland speed as well as combat speed.
The only issue I have is in the presentation of the speed. To give the speed in squares on a battle mat instead of a real life equivalent, such as feet, takes something away from how the game is envisioned. As role-playing or as a wargame.
