Ghosts of the Pacific Calender Questions

Post by OldCrowBalthazor »

Playing deeper in a test we noticed circa November 1879 the turn turnaround jumps from 5 days each to 10 days. I figured its because of the seasonal change as per all the other SC titles.
Questions
1) We are figuring sometime in spring the turns will return to 5 days each. What month does this happen for GotP?

2) I'm still in early October 1870 with my Blood and Iron match vs The Colonel. Those turns are 2 days each. With Blood and Iron, come November, will we see something similar in regards to number of days per turn changing to something longer?

Inquiring planners would like to know. 🙂

I think you need to fire your orderly, he's not reading the calendar right at all!

Turns in 1879 are always 10 days per turn per side. So one Chilean turn to the next Chilean turn is 20 days.
Turns in 1870 are always 1 day per turn per side.

Seasonal turns are only used in the big Civil War campaigns and 1846.

There's two of us doing paper logs with our GotP tests . I better check this again. No problem I'll run an SP quick test to get the dates straight.

With Blood and Iron I meant 2 days regarding the calendar progression. So for example Oct 2, Oct 4, Oct 6 etc is what one side would see as you moved through the game from your p.o.v.

I guess there must be somewhere in the editor where I can see the entire calendar dates for both sides.
Not sure where to look there though.

Well your right and paper don't lie. I guess we had too many beverages or something.
Here's a Blood and Iron YT log with dates and two Ghosts of the Pacific Test logs.
We both got tripped up with November for some reason!

Thanks on answering that there's no season variation with these two scenarios.
