but the unit one hex away is anywhere from 0 - 250 meters away.

Minor point, but in terms of abstraction the unit can be anywhere from 0 to 500 meters away, not just 0-250 as that's for the hex the unit is actually in. If the scale is 250 meters per hex, the two hexsides furthest removed from eachother on two neighbouring hexes are 2x250 meters away from eachother. Most wargames calculate ranges based on units being at the hexside closest to the enemy they're firing at of the hex they occupy. However, theoretically they could also be on the other side of the hex.

38 turns for the longest scenario? I thought the longest scenario lasted several days. With dawn at about 4:00-4:30 am in the summer, and dusk at around 10 pm and half hour turns, 38 turns wouldn't even cover one day as each day would have about 42 turns (30 minute daylight turns from 4 am to 10 pm and 6 nighttime 60 minute turns 18x2+6x1 turns), unless I'm missing something. With dawn at 5, it's still ~41 turns).

ComradeP,

Yes, you're correct on 42 turns in a day. Dawn is 5am, Dusk is 10pm. Currently from memory there is only two scenarios that start before dawn. Many start hours after dawn.

As far as multi-day in a single scenario, no there isn't any. I think I specifically called that out for this battle. There was little if any fighting in the 6 or so hours of darkness, primarily due to the extremely long day. Both sides attempted to refit, regroup & resupply in the short periods of darkness. There was also significant movement of units overnight but very little fighting.

All the scenarios conclude by midnight if not beforehand.
