What speed do you like to use?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

just wondering, if tactically speaking, it is unwise to have the counter moving too quickly.

I would like to play with 2x, but have noticed that if I do that, I lose control of my artillery (meaning, I don't use it enough in many cases).

Wish you could set the speeds a little differently, but I won't go into how I would prefer it here. No point in complicating everything. LOL

Plus, at anything other than SLOW, you are likely to not even notice you have airstrikes available...and even though they are automatically assigned for you rather than thrown away, their placement can be critical--especially against armored units when nothing else will do the trick. For instance, last night while playing Epsom, I hit a company of about 9 Panther tanks with an airstrike and they immediately surrendered when I thought I would have a major headache on my hands with them given the limited resources on hand.

I use them all! Probably the most time is spent at "Normal" with "slow" a close second...and a frequent use of pause.
Kind Regards,

Pretty much everytime I run on Slow.
With normal I tend to forget things or I get distracted from key events.
