Just a crazy question

Would it be at all possible for the turn length to be adjustable? Meaning, you could select anything from 1-7 days as a turn length and the game would reduce movement values accordingly? Has anyone already proposed this?

My understanding is that most or all of the systems in the game are represented by algorithms based on a 7-day turn. But what if that 7-day value were to become a variable in the equations, rather than a fixed value? It seems like just a matter of mathematical substitution, but then again I have no idea what's going on under the hood.

Why would this be a good thing? Well, it would allow you to do a better job of simulating the shorter, smaller, Operational scenarios in which the 7-day turn length just seems a little too long. Courland 44, Korsun 44 and (to a lesser extent for some reason) Konrad 45 all suffer a bit (IMHO) due to the rather long turn length.

I realize that WiTE is a peerless Strategic level sim, and a 7-day turn is entirely appropriate for that scale. Seen over an entire 4-5 month (or 4 year!) campaign, everything "averages out". But when there's only 1-2 months to play with, 7 day turns just isn't granular enough to capture what happened in many cases.
