In "Ogre Miniatures".  Then it got back-patched to hex-based Ogre in
about 2002.  Check the GEV errata page.  I blame myself.  It is a
stupid rule.

Uhh... I count well under 4 turns to transit the western side of the
map south to north.  The attacker gets 8vp/GEV up until his 8th turn. 
8VPx12GEVs=96vp.  Far exceeding the 50 vp margin for a decisive
victory.

I think you're doing something big wrong.  Misinterpreting some rule
or something.
