Another smoke question if that's OK......how long (minutes/turns?) does a typical smoke barrage remain in place and stay effective? What factors influence this timing?

Smoke times vary. Could he five minutes or twenty five. Bad weather ups the chance to dissipate quickly.

Smoke dissipation checks occur every 5 minutes. The engine sweeps through all smoke markers and checks each for dissipation. So, the first check for a smoked hex will occur 5 to 9 minutes after impact, depending on when ducring the 5 minute cycle it impacted.
