The armed half-track

[Hawk Kriegsman]

Ed, your doctrinaire insistence on 6 minutes per turn fails the basic marching test. West Front dog-eared manual p 80 states the physical scale as 1km to 4 hexes.

WTF!!! It is not Ed's insistence.
It is the insistence of:
Jim Rose, Bob McNamara, Joseph Hummel, Charles Kibler, Brian McGinn, John Tiller, Jamie Nash, John Underwood, Glenn Saunders, etc.., etc.., etc.. A veritable whose, who in the wargaming world.

I don't see Huib, VonEarlman, or KKR in the :censored: credits. Please send me your wargaming titles and will objectively compare them with the illustrious designers of CS.

I do see Chris Wilson aka Periander as the only current CS player in the credits! Thanks Chris!

From the EF II Manual Page 2 (Introduction):

A turn represents approximately 6 minutes of real time.

From the EF II Manual Page 222 (East Front II FAQ).
2) What is the game scale?

A. The game scale is six minutes per turn and 250 meters per hex.

From the WF Manual Page 2 (Introduction):

Each Game Turn is equivalent to about six minutes of real time.

From the WF Manual Page 249 (West Front FAQ).
11) What is the game scale?

A. The game scale is six minutes per turn and 250 meters per hex.

From the RS Manual Page 17 (Game Scale and Stacking).
The game turn is 6 minutes per Game Turn and 250 meter per hex (exceptions: Game Turns during a Night scenario represents a longer period of time due to units normally moving slower at night, and the scale of some of the smaller islands has been "stretched" slightly for playability's sake"

I am sure if I read the manuals cover to cover I could give you more references.

Which means that whatever a turn duration is, it is more than 6 mins.

Not per the designers of the game. They clearly state what the time of a turn is. 6 minutes.

I believe a turn can represent whatever time you wish it to. It really has no meaning in CS

To you yes. To the designers of the game no. 6 minutes is the length of a turn.

Thanx!
