HYPERBOREA / Army Marching Speed

**Posted by Glorgnok** 5/12/2025 2:09 am

When an army marches to their destination or target how long does it take for them to get there? Is it determined by generalizing the speed of the creatures/men who make up the army or is it something else? If someone could enlighten me or point me towards a rule I overlooked I would be most appreciative.

I would consider the following assumptions to be true:

#1. The army, if it is to remain whole, can only move as fast as its slowest unit types. So, if there are heavy infantry on foot, per our wilderness movement rules (Player's Manual, p. 257), heavily armoured types can achieve about 12 miles per day.
#2. Also on p. 257, I would take into account the terrain type being crossed.

The information in that section of the book (starting on p. 256) should contain everything you need, including for the mobilization of larger forces.

Thanks man, it was really stumping me for a second.
