The (Unofficial) Great War at Sea

Fuel Tables

The process of tracking fuel consumption in The Great War at Sea is easy; the only complication is for fleets moving two spaces (instead of one) on the operational map. But that one complication does make planning difficult. Given a fleet, I just want to know how many two-square moves I can do and still not run out of fuel.

Since that's not obvious from the fuel consumption rates, I made the tables to help answer that question.

This table shows the number of one-space moves that a fleet can make given the number of fuel boxes and desired number of two-space moves:

	# Two Space Moves
Fuel Boxes	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
2	16	10	4	-	-	-	-	-	-	-
3	24	18	12	6	0	-	-	-	-	-
4	32	26	20	14	8	2	-	-	-	-
5	40	34	28	22	16	10	4	-	-	-
6	48	42	36	30	24	18	12	6	0	-
7	56	50	44	38	32	26	20	14	8	2
8	64	58	52	46	40	34	28	22	16	10
9	72	66	60	54	48	42	36	30	24	18
10	80	74	68	62	56	50	44	38	32	26
11	88	82	76	70	64	58	52	46	40	34
12	96	90	84	78	72	66	60	54	48	42

For example, a fleet with four fuel boxes that makes 3 two-space moves will still have enough fuel to move 14 spaces one at a time.

This table shows the total number of spaces traveled by a fleet with the given number of fuel boxes and desired two-space moves. Each cell is just the sum of it's corresponding cell in the previous table and two times the number of two space moves:

	# Two Space Moves
Fuel Boxes	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
2	16	12	8	-	-	-	-	-	-	-
3	24	20	16	12	8	-	-	-	-	-
4	32	28	24	20	16	12	-	-	-	-
5	40	36	32	28	24	20	16	-	-	-
6	48	44	40	36	32	28	24	20	16	-
7	56	52	48	44	40	36	32	28	24	20
8	64	60	56	52	48	44	40	36	32	28
9	72	68	64	60	56	52	48	44	40	36
10	80	76	72	68	64	60	56	52	48	44
11	88	84	80	76	72	68	64	60	56	52
12	96	92	88	84	80	76	72	68	64	60

Continuing the previous example, that fleet with four fuel boxes making 3 two-space moves will move a total of 20 spaces.
