Battle lengths: MBT versus real life
Reading battle AARs, it seems real company size engagements take several hours. In MBT though the typical battle is only about an hour. I'm curious, would a scenario designer need to set the turn limit to around 500 to simulate a real historical engagement?
Most MBT battles involve aggressively laying down brief suppression fire then immediately running at the enemy with maneuver elements. This is fine gameplay-wise, I'm just not sure if it's historical. In reality infantry units seem to have a lot more time available to advance cautiously.
