Is this a bug/mistake?

I've probably said this a hundred times before over the past 8 years. NO scenarios exist where the turns are on average 6 minutes. Not old Talonsoft, not newer scns. Only hypothetical scns might fit that definition for the sole reason they are hypothetical.

"Combat is performed on a “hex grid” map that has defined wargaming for over three decades. Each “hex” represents 250 meters; with 4 hexes to a kilometer or 6 hexes to a mile. Turns are equivalent to approximately 6 minutes of real time." - Campaign Series 1.03 User Manual, pg 13.

This is the same 1.03 User Manual that Jason referenced to me to "...explain the use and intended design use of the Bridging Engineer." So, I guess some folks use the manual "selectively" depending on what debate points they are trying to make... OR there are User Manual sections that are incorrect? :chin:

Everybody who does a little historical research on the scenarios he plays will conclude this.

But clearly the original Talonsoft developers had both a specific game and time scale in mind... based on what is stated in the User Manual?

The whole discussion about the turn timespan is useless theoretical blabla.

Maybe you can point out what sections of the 1.03 User Manual are "blabla"... that way, we can avoid engaging in "useless theoretical blabla? Is blabla even a word?

Superimposing this false assumption on what units should be able to do or not be able to do in 6 minutes does not do justice to the quality of the game.

We are not debating the "quality of the game" - but the impact of two special units (bridging and mine laying engineers) based on the CS game scale.

But, if you are stating that CS has neither a stated game scale or time... even when the 1.03 User Manual states otherwise... I guess we are at an impass? ...and IMO, simply highlights (once again) the huge gap between the CS player community and (some folks?) on the Matrix development team.

Here you go.
