Turn Scale

Evening:

From what I"m reading on the Matrix site the turn scale is weekly. I understand this to mean seven days.
On Wargamer.com, the review says the turn scale is 14 days.

Which is it?

Thank you.

RE: Whatcah gonna get?

<t> I'm looking for a Normandy invasion game at the regimental level that doesn't have weekly turns. Hex's and a way to mod the German supply and replacement levels to a higher level when I'm playing the Allies. I tried playing Tillers Panzer Campaigns Normandy 44 and didn't mind the Battalion level...

Lurch gone? That man was a Snipe's Snipe. A bad day, yet one we knew was comming. This was as good as Cuttlefish's, but better because of the Engineering tales.

RE: General Swartzkof has passed

I was in the same room with the General many years ago for a Veteran's Day gathering; and it didn't take long to realize he was a true leader.

RE: The little ship that could.

Man, I LOVED being a sailor in the 80's and early 90's. But "tailhook" changed all that.

Pulling into PI for the first time in 1986 after 5 weeks at sea. Oh the stories I could tell.... except.... well.... ummm.... [:-]
