Default Re: When did the Mark IV get 56 treads?

The 56 tread units was probably because range and movement in Ogre Miniatures are measured in hexes, and 1 hex = 2 inches. So the Mark IV's movement of 4 hexes comes out to 8 inches. Since destroying each set of treads decreases movement by the same amount, the number of treads had to be divisible by the move rate. And because 60 is not divisible by eight, the author went with 56 instead.
