According to: http://www.nps.gov/miss/features/factoids/ the Mississippi River is only 4 miles wide at it's widest point. According to http://lexicorient.com/e.o/nile.htm the Nile ranges from 0.35 km to 7.5 km in width (I saw a number of 14 miles on another website, but that may be for the valley, not just the river). In either case, 20 miles is probably about 3-4 times too wide. -- A generous and sadistic GM, Brandon Cope http://www.geocities.com/copeab _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
