Default Re: Province Size?

Being somewhat obsessive (aren't we all though?), I decided to check an historical event to see what would be a realistic distance for an army to cover. Being an American, I naturally chose an event from our history; the American Civil War. Sherman's march from Atlanta to Savannah took 28 days and covered a distance of 250 miles, which is an average of 9 miles a day.

This was form mid-November to mid December, which in the American South can be a somewhat rainy period.

In addition, Sherman's army did a lot of pillaging and burning along the way.
