Regarding the topic, the best solution is to use your imagination. I find that game fascinating even though it's older than the first time I've used a computer because I'm generally a person with imagination and you can make in your mind how the situation really developed. You can imagine that the time simulated in turns is the "active" type, that means it doesnt include the time your grunts are sitting in the foxhole thinking about boobs to escape the grim reality their living...
