Ed,
Why is it that movement, 250 meters per hex and every other part of the game works so well for you, but a turn lasting a day is way out of the relm of thought. What if the original stated time was say 10 min per turn. Would you now be complaining that the game at 250 meters per hex was wrong !! and the scale was off by 50 meters. Scale, time distance and movement are great but I prefer a well balanced game even if all of those are thrown out the window. Interesting conversation but I'll end with this no reason to get everybody all rilled up over something so basic.

Please Chuck, don't put words, thoughts, or ideas that I do not believe into my mouth (or fingers when I type).
You erect a strawman.

Why I do not like a turn to represent a day?
===>Uh, because it is six minutes? I suggest you find a game where the scale is a turn equals a day.

What if ten minutes?
===>Then things would move differently? All units would move differently.

Complaining?
===> If defending truth and facts is complaining then you need to look up the definition of complaining.

"Rilled up"?
===> If you are "rilled up" Then you should not be responding?
I'm not riled up. I am not excited. I am not angry. If you see it differently then you would be wrong. I simply respond to words that are trying to make facts into "not facts".

I am all for fun and balanced games ... that fit the game scale. If I wanted something that was smaller in scale I'd play Squad Battles. If I wanted something larger, where a turn is hours, I'd play OpC. I would not try to shoe horn CS into a different scale.

No one will convince me that scale should be thrown out. It's there. It's part of the game. Its in every unit. I think scenario designers and the Matrix crew should respect it and nurture it as part of the game.
Ignore it is not right.

I didn't think I tried to use jedi mind tricks on you, sorry I won't do that again.

I beleive the game manual states a game turn as being approximately 6 min. Is a turn actually 5 min or 10 as I suggested. Is it whatever the person designing the scenario wants it to be??

What if ten minutes?
===>Then things would move differently? All units would move differently.
Again the manual states Approximately 6 min, so how close to 6 min is a game turn ??

Complaining?

I'm sorry I was asking you to think outside the 6 min turn, A purists nightmare.

I believe I said everybody and was not singling you out. Try to keep peace in the thread.

I don't think anybody is shoe horning anything in, as long as the scale is the same for each side its even.

Kind Regards
