Hey Darren:
A good "compromise" to playing the 100+ turn scenarios is to look for the 30 - 50 turn ones.
Also I recommend playing the longer turn scenarios against opponents you have played previously AND have enjoyed the experience!
Currently, I am playing the Germans in Minsk '44 "5th GTA is Committed" (44 turns) against a long time opponent!
Each turn is a tense, exciting, and brutal ordeal as the Russian "steamroller" offensive threatens to crush, encircle, and breakthrough my German defenses!
I find myself frantically rushing units to shore up a line in one sector, pull back in another, or funnel units down escape roads in a third sector!
Every turn you have to deal with multiple tactical challenges while planning for strategic operations - e.g. Can I spare these motorized troops from the front lines to act as a reserve? How long can I afford to keep a bridge intact before dropping it? When do reinforcements arrive? How and where do I rest my fatigued units? etc. etc.
IMO, PzC Series really shines in the longer turn scenarios and that's why I have the patience to play them!
