Scenario design musings

[JonS1]

We set the unit speed at a rate we feel is acceptable for the game scale and not the top speed of the standard vehcile of the formation.

Misquoted it is :)

As for the time scale, as someone said here you can make that change in the PDT and then maybe build or revise your own scn as things like releases, reinforcements and such would not match the 3 hour day turns.

Actually, that isn't really necessary. Or not as much as you'd initially think. And I am building my own scen anyway.

Altering the time scale was a concept I'm considering, and thought it'd be useful to get some different perspectives on. I realise wahat the knock-ons are. My question is whether it'd be worthwhile implementing, would the net effect be positive.

Where you would have to FUDGE things is the 2 hour time is linked with the speed in the OOB. ... This shouldn't be a big problem because from what you are saying a MOT unit moves too fast anyway...

It's not just MOT units, but yes, that's the general idea. The MOT AT-unit comment was merely an example. As it is, any unit can just get so much done in a day. Instead of moving extraordinary distances, a unit could area fire 30 times, or mount 10 assaults plus area fire 10 times, or some other combination of activities. That's a fabulous amount for a unit to get done in a day, and I believe it directly contributes to the difficulties the Germans experience in the longer N'44 scenarios.
