Yeah, estimating range, speed, aob, etc. in the games isn't that difficult really. Just takes a bit of game time.
i rarely bother with drawing all over the map other than a target course line so I can set up a fast 90 attack, in which case exact range doesn't matter anyway.
Firm believer in the kiss principle.
