Realistic settings?

So that is why we say take the number of turns played and multiply by (about) 5 minutes to get a sense of what it would have taken in reality.

OK, but the manual says "One game move (player 1 turn plus player 2 turn) represents roughly 3 minutes [my emphasis] of 'real time'." (That always seemed pretty short to me.) Or are you suggesting that the 3 minutes be multiplied by 5, so that, say, a 30-turn scenario (90 minutes in game time scale) would probably take more like 450 minutes, or 7-and-a-half hours in real combat? Thanks.
