I made an extra long 6-part Range Ruler to determine the center of the battlefield for a mission objective. I held it on one end and four of the connector pins broke.

Anyone else with broken range rulers yet?

I've been trying to be extra careful with it, I didn't think it was that sturdy to begin with. That said I'm pretty sure the segments are 6 inches long, so you could just use a tape measure.

I had a near miss the other day, but I know a couple of people who have broken theirs already.

Haven't broke one yet. I only keep 2 sections together at a time. I am considering drilling and pinning the ends with some stainless rod to strengthen the pins.

I have two core sets.

Which means two rulers.

Both broken within 2 weeks. Bad design.

I broke one. Bought a spare.

I now have handy rulers pre assembled at 4, 3, and 1!

I broke one pin on mine. I just super glued that together and now have a permanent range 2 ruler. It's mildly annoying,but it works

I feel like Charlie Kelly, but, magnets

I have 2 neither are broken

Well they are cheap plastic, so eventually.

Love to see some aluminum/brass range rulers.

... or stainless steel!

I was connecting a 2 and 2 together when the whole thing exploded, those connection pins are weak AF.

Or use a tape measure, each range segment is 6 inches I believe so:

Range 1 = 0-6"

Range 2 = 6-12"

Range 3 = 12-18"

Range 4 = 18-24"

I get why they used measuring sticks as it feels a little less geeky and complicated, but I believe this translation should work outside of tournements to save you some cash.

Legion isn't unique for using measuring sticks in place of actual measurements. I imagine it also helps a smidge with playing the game in the metric parts of the world, no conversion necessary, just use this tool.

Players are allowed to use range rulers that are the same dimensions, so i would think you could get a set of the 1 inch metal measurers that screw together to make range rulers if a tape measure is frowned upon. I use a six inch version from CorSec engineering as a movememt measuring stick for Bolt Action (saves a fair amount of time)

Personally, I would get different colors of 1 inch markers for the different sections, or at the very least alternate.

I'm searching for those, since I broke mine. Where can I get them?

Think he might be refering to these, but I can't see 6" versions, nice colours though.

Sorry was posting quick and forgot the link. That is what I mean, each segment is 1" long, so you buy 6 of them and screw them together to make a 6" ruler. The sell threaded sections and "end caps" which don't have a threaded section.

Edit: It's $0.75 a section, so is a little more expensive than the "official" replacement, but much sturdier.

Just ordered 36 x 1". Thanks for the link.

These are great! I just picked out 4 colors and got 6 of each so I can keep segments together.

Yup.

I did 11 of each colour x 4 and end caps x4.

Postage to Australia was really quite pleasant.

I broke my range ruler I think the day I got it and FFG replaced it! Best customer service ever!

Well if the range ruler didn't stand up to day one, it was defective. They are cheap plastic but they are engineered to stand up to a little abuse and wear. Yeah, give enough time and use, they will break but they aren't designed to break right away (looking at you cheap cell phones).

I broke mine day one, assembling by not pushing together right at the joint, but from ends... *shrugs* I consider that user error. They stand up fine if you don't do things that any material would bend or buckle under.
