How long did this and the previous turn take in real time?
ReplyDeleteThe first five moves were wargamed in two hours.
ReplyDeleteThe early moves go very quickly, because there is no firing or fighting. Later moves take longer, depending on how many combats are happening at the same time.
The wargame moves are being published daily to keep the momentum of the campaign going. We have a lot going on at the present, and its difficult to fit a wargame in. So if we were to publish all the moves as they are fought there would be long gaps between posts.
