Hi KhanDam2, welcome to the Campaign Series Forum!

The time scale is somewhat of an abstract but the accepted time scale for each turn in the Campaign Series community
is roughly 6 minutes of real time is my understanding. Six minutes of real time was the documented time scale in earlier
versions of the game but under the latest version of the game (2.02) the developers did not include this scale in the manual
that I can find. There is a reason for this.

This time scale can be affected by terrain movement, weather (clear, mud, snow) and whether or not its day or night. Its generally accepted that night
turns can be a little longer maybe upwards of 10 minutes or even higher per turn. When you think about it this is true and realistic to the dimensional
scale of the game of 1 hex across = 250 meters. Therefore 10 turns can represent about an hour of real time give or take depending on the map conditions
or whether its day or night.

But as an abstract I use 6 minutes on clear dry terrain during daylight. For night I may consider 10-12 minutes under the same conditions.

Hope this helps.
