Turn length preference

[TheBigRedOne]

I like to plan, prepare and execute...which takes a bit longer most times than 12-15 turns. But, I do like the time pressure to make me commit and excute boldly...it I do not have time pressure I will second guess my plan and do half-assed ill concieved experiments...and get precious pixels killed and ruin the lives of thier pixel loved ones :)

19-24 turns for me

I think that if you give the player on the offense too much time, the game becomes rather stagnant, at least from the defender's side of things. Sitting around for 3-5 turns before anything happens can be a bit boring. Forcing the player on the offense to try to achieve his objectives in a timely fashion evens out the playing field.

In real life, most commanders probably didn't have as much time to prepare or execute their orders as they would have liked to. Sometimes you just have to push forward under the current set of circumstances and hope for the best.
