Thanks Jeff, getting data rolled into beta patch for this evening. Hopefully. [;)]

Great, Jim!

Quick question: is the upper bound of scenario length going to be increased beyond 14 hrs? It would be nice to have it 72 or 96 hours, so as to get the full recce part of the battle to fit in.

Jeff, I'll bring it up in the call tonight, but anything longer then 14 hours really should be in some campaign format to allow for the amount of ground/time to be covered gracefully. I'd be curious to see a generic timeline and force structure you would use in a 4-5 day scenario. My other fear would be how slow things could get based on the number of units stuck on the map.

[IronMikeGolf]

Actually 36-48 hrs would suffice. Forces would be MR or Tank Regiment plus Div Recce Co attacking Bn-TF.

Timeline:

Start: Div Recce Company in sector
24-36 hrs
Regt Recce in sector
4-12 hrs
CRP (Plt)
10-20 min
FSE (Co)
15-30 min
AGMB (Bn)
30-60 min
Regt Main Body (2 x Bn)

Upper figures gives you about 50 hrs until the Regt Main Body comes on map. This is the standard template used back when.
