Default Re: TFT Errata for Hexagram #3

Long-Range Missile Fire at ITL page 125 alternates "yards" and "hexes" as if these were identical, but a yard is three feet and ITL page 11 says:

"Hex – A hexagonal space on the gameboard, representing an area four feet across."

This length conversion also happens at ITL pages 113 and 124.

Other uses of "yards" measure vertical distance, while the "standard hex" (for Create X spells, and also enchantments?) is four feet in "diameter" and ten feet tall.

At ITL 55 if the distance from the center of one hex to the centers of the six nearest hexes is four feet, then the distance from the center of the center hex of a megahex to the center of the center of the nearest megahexes is two and and half times that, or 10 feet and not the "3 yards" listed. And the error compounds at each step up from there.
