'During an encounter players can move one range band per turn.'

For example, if I am "Far" from an enemy and decide to use my action to move two bands do I move 60' closer or do I move from 240' (Far) to Medium (60') (essentially moving 180' in that turn?).  Then in my next turn (assuming the enemy did not move) I repeat myself and this time move two bands from Medium to Close (essentially moving 60' in that turn).

I am trying to understand the rationale for the 'bands'.  Your maps use grids, so I assume you do use some sort of grid-based combat when playing?  I have seen bands used in more of a theater of the mind and just trying to reconcile.

Maybe I missed the point or am over thinking (would not be first time on either account)

Thanks

Table:

Close, melee (5ft)

Short (30ft)

Medium (60ft)

Long (120ft)

Far (240ft)

Distant (>240ft)

Hey Greymark, its actually intended to offer a bit of flexibility for both an abstract and grid measurement approach. The intention was for the longer distances between the further range bands was to bring parties closer to the action/or separate them more quickly.
