That is true - but most often the route step is used when a VERY large
distance is to be covered. At that point you'd not want to keep at 120 step
march maintained, as it would seriously exhaust your troops. Route step is
not something you would attempt to manuver a formation with, just get them
to where they need to be without wearing them down

    In reply to the route step vs a 120 beat step...ground maybe covered as
fast or faster depending on the unit...the terrain available, cover and
concealment and the type of mission your unit is on. All these variables
come into play as to whether or not route step covers more or less ground
than the standard 120 beat "in-step" march.
