What is the max range for a ST 4 toss?

I know - it's the ellipses that I'm questioning.

a 12 lb petard hurled 30 hexes by a ST 30 giant (the only ST 30 humanoid?) is 12xST not 15xST.

Then there is the question of an aimed throw vs. a heave. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenade a trained soldier (ST 12) can throw it 15 yards. Call it 15 MH or 45 hexes. That's where I come up with 4xST as an approximation. I think you also have to account for a 3 hex figure vs a 1 hex figure in terms of distance.

A petard can be heaved without aiming because of its large diameter of destruction. We cannot assume the same for a molotail, especially a molotail that is going to be lit by a Brand!
