[GZG] DS3 timescale

I'm with Laserlight on this one. At the pace of modern armour
engagements, 2-3 minutes per
turn would seem more sensible to me. In a travelling mode, vehicles could
still move
1000m+ in a single minute (depending on the vehicle and terrain). You'd
think some grav
tanks could actually move more on the order of 3000m+ in a minute if
driving quickly. That'd be 30mu in a minute. Now, most times this is not the
case, but that's sort of 'travel mode' speeds.

The other nice thing about contemplating a 2 minute turn is this: 5-7
turns would fit with one notional FT turn but at 2 minutes a turn, you'd be
fairly close to a stargrunt time scale. So you could do 1:1 crossover games.

If the average life expectancy of a tank in conflict with other armoured
vehicles of similar capability is on the order of a couple or four minutes,
that should still at least be several game turns, methinks. For feel, if
nothing else.
