You are spot on Mike.
Let's go back to our King Tiger. It costs 8 action points to move one paved road hex. 100 action points divided by 8 equals 12.5 hexes per 6 minutes or 125 hexes in 10 turns which is 1 hour.
125 hexes is 31,250 meters.
31,250 meters is 19.4 miles in an hour (10 turns).
If we go cross country the cost is 16 action points per hex.
100 action points divided by 16 is 6.25 hexes per 6 minutes or 62.5 hexes in 10 turns which is 1 hour.
62.5 hexes is 15,625 meters.
15,625 meters is 9.7 miles an hour.
This compares directly with the King Tigers technical specifications of 23 miles per hour on a road and 10.5 miles per hour cross country.
So not only did the designers use 6 minutes for a turn they apparently factored in a bit of stand around time (at least for the King Tiger) in to boot!!
Thanx!
