How long is one turn?
-
The game starts in the spring of 1942, each time one full round is complete (all the coutries have had a turn). How much time has elapsed in “Real Time”? one month, one season? a week, a day? does anyone know?
-
This is a guess, but, i think one full round is a year.
-
1 Season (3 months)
-
based on what? i thought that the game just leaves it open to interpretation.
-
If each three months make up one turn then I find it odd how the first nine months are incredibly length with engagements while the later turns just seem to drag on.
-
I don’t remember where it is actualy said but I’m fairly certain that it is indeed 3 months.
-
If a turn was an entire year, the war would drag on for more than a decade.
-
Well, it is not a historical based game. If Japan can blitz across Russian, the war could last 10 years.
-
I came up with 3 months or 1 season as well last year. Most of my games were lasting 15 to 20 turns with a defeat or surrender, which LOOSELY equates to mid 1945 or end 1946. Remember, if the Allies needed to invade Japan proper, the war could have lasted another year or so…
-
but there is no clear amount though. in reality, germany could of not built a world winner fleet in 3 months after taking russia.

Good point Horten
Personally, I feel that the time each turn takes is variable, meaning from 1 season to 1 year or something.
But I’m just a stupid newbie anyway :cry:
-
Good point as well, we may be worrying about something intentionally left vague by the game designer.
-
Yep, that’s probably right
Not the most importint thing however :grin:
-
I consider one turn a season. The only reason I like to know how long a turn is, is so I can compare my progress to the real war. Just something I think is fun. :cool:
-
Agreed, I like to do the same. Imagine WWII fighting on into the early or mid 1950’s !!!
-
We might actually have seen WWII entering the early late 1940s if American Pacific planners decided on invading each and every Japanese held island instead of pursuing their brilliant island hopping campaign. Of course, the invasion of Japan itself might of prolonged the war even until the early 1950s if not for the invention of the atomic warhead.
-
I wonder if there are still 75+ year old Japanese soldiers hiding out on Pacific islands waiting to fight Americans not knowing the war ended 57 years ago???
-
LOL
-
If the U.S. had not insisted upon unconditional surrender, neither an invasion nor the atomic bomb would have been needed
-
How do you figure?
