Or, did the designers change the hex size or range of gun fire?
Or, did the early designers not sacrifice fun to have the game be what it is not?
Are all the Kursk scenarios representative of the day those battles lasted?

C'mon. I am not saying pure time to fight the battles. That is what you do not understand. And, never seem to have understood?
That "dog" simply will not hunt.

And I will speak for my recently published H2H scenario - "Breakout at Benicourt." The battle(s) in the Benicourt region of France on September 13, 1944 actually began before dawn... with sporadic fighting continuing until night fall. Never ONCE during either my research into this battle or the subsequent development of my scenario, was I under the illusion that I was modeling or depicting the entire day long series of battles.

Specifically, I was depicting the climatic point in the battle, approximately mid-afternoon when significant Allied armor units made contact with the main German defense lines. Frankly, the thought never crossed my mind that I was modeling a day-long battle because such a depiction would be out of scale with the CS game system.

And in the end it comes back to scale... and it has always been about scale.
