Does anyone know how I can determine grid distances on the map without actually counting them (sometimes the grid squares in the oceans are hard to see)
It would keep me from crashing so many needlejets also, lol
Thanks in advance..

Probably the easiest way to calculate distance...
1. Do the usuall routine of movement... Click-hold on the unit,
2. Move cursor to desired grid-square
3. Instead of releasing the button to move unit there, hover the cursor... A little grayish caption should appear showing the position the cursor is in and the distance from the unit.
