Hi there,
The game spec mentions 8 turns per day - is this correct please, as surely this would be better as 8 turns an hour?
Apart from this point, the game definitely looks interesting!

I think each turn covers 2 minutes of real time. with 8 segments per turn: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=3983178

Thanks

It's a 2 minute module of time per turn.

There is two ways to create a battle:

1) scenario - up to 504 turns (physical limit)

2) campaign - full day in a campaign costs of daylight + night. Daylight = 8 turns + 4 turns for the night. So full day in a campaign is 12 turns. So this means (504/12) = 42 full days of combat.

To clarify - is it 2 minutes or 90 minutes (12 hours/8)?

ASL is 2 minutes...
