[Video] Understanding Ranges

Nothing terribly exciting but as ranges in Traveller 5 have confused some people in the past I made a quick 'How to' video to explain them. Derived numbers (like range band boundaries) have been recalculated and may not agree exactly with the book. Enjoy.

Meanwhile I have a BeastMaker video nearly ready to go ... maybe for next weekend.
 
You've got a very nice voice for teaching. Sort of a Hitchhiker's Guide feel to it, as a bonus.
 
Excellent vid, as always Hemdian. I nominate you as the official T5 Explainer.

Have you done one about movement and range bands? How to move back and forth during combat? That can get confusing, especially since, when close, the same round gives you time to move only a little distance where people in a much higher range band will move a lot more distance than you in the same amount of time. That needs the Hemdian touch.
 
Thanks, all.

Have you done one about movement and range bands?

I covered movement in the personal combat video ... BUT ... I got a couple of things wrong (like the range bands, ironically) and need to remake it. (Also, the sound on that video is poor in parts too.) I've delayed that remake so that I can include the revisions you guys are working on.
