How to fasten computer's turn?

Hi,
Playing the campaign I am not so fond in watching every attack by the computer and then having to make a pause (getting some food, goiing to the toilets etc..)
I would rather have a quick computer turn and focus on my business.
I usually prefer to just check what is really important myself instead of having to watch the whole thing.
I cannot reduce the delay to 0 because in such cases I would not see what I do.

mmmm, is it not possible to reduce the delay to 0 just before hitting F12?

Yeah for some reason, zooming out makes the turn faster.
Zooming out makes the turn faster. Why?

Now can someone tell me why zooming out makes the turn faster? [&:]

Less stuff to calc and draw (CV values, detections, etc..)

Not really on topic but related. How to speed rail movement of units across the USSR:
Give rail movement order to unit then ALT-TAB to another application. Wait one second. ALT-TAB back. Your unit is in destination.
I was tearing my hairs trying to rail all those reinforcements from East side to the front. Looks there is no way to speed movement which takes ages. Switching to another application and back cause train to teleport. Along with its cargo

If I'm understanding what this is concerning, I would try using SPACE BAR to expedite the rail movement display. Would be a little less annoying than ALT-TAB. [:'(]

I'll try that, thanks. If it does what you understand I am concerned about, it will be indeed less annoying
Seems I should look at the shortcut table once more

I turned off the move animation. Did the trick for me. Now I just click on the destination hex and ZAP! they're there.[:)]
Edit: even stacks move instantaneously.

Click Rail Move button, click units, right click destination, hit space bar. Your units will appear there instantly.

Aha I have fond memories of trying to move lots of units in the south.
80% of the time they were bombed.
I'm glad it was patched out!

So far I've only played the "short" campaigns.
Today I started on the axis side the 1944-45 campaign.
The first turn plays the Soviet Union.
The turn requires at least 55 min ?! [X(]
That's take only as long on my system or do I have to live with such times?

What are you computer specs?
RAM and processor?
Message Settings?

55 min. That was a painful surprise.

Well that sounds ok
I have run the game in that time period on my laptop with no problems
The laptop is of less power than your computer
Did you have alot of other applications open at the same time?
Are you computer maintenance tasks up to date?

There are not so much applications runnig at the same time and all maintenance tasks are up to date.
So I have to live with it.
OK if I know now it's not up to my system.
But there will come long days! [:(]

So to clarify: If I minimize the game to the taskbar then it should turn fastest? [&:]
