Brucha:

As much as I hate to tell you this, the "moving 105 mph" phenomenon is not a unique to British troops. Actual tests from the game (using the Enhanced mod) have shown that, if an infantry unit hits a mine, its speed would suddenly increase to at least 40 mph (and often >100 mph).

You'll also see the "speed demon" result if a unit in transport has its transport destroyed. 

It's also possible for units to move negatively.  I've seen units moving at -4mph, for example.  Heh.

Vanhauser: That must have been one hell of a headwind they were running into ? [:D]

How about AFV getting hit to its bottom by mortar? [:'(]

For your information, the "negative speed" phenomenon is due to the fact that the game may decrease the speed for infantry that have fired after moving. This can happen, for example, if an infantry unit moves 1 hex (for a speed of 2~3 mph) and then fires 6 times. (Because speed could decrease by up to 1 mph after each shot, there is a good chance that the unit's speed would ultimately become negative.)

Now, here's the counter-intuitive part: as expected, the penalty to hit chance caused by moving won't go away entirely when the moving speed drops to zero or a negative number.

reyturn fire.....my remark was sarchastic and meant to be funny. Thanks for the return though.[&o][:D]
