Time scale in DSII (just fyi for everybody, to make sure we're all
on the same page; again, more quoting, page 4 this time) - "In
DIRTSIDE II, the Timescale is fairly loose, and in most cases pretty
irrelevant to normal play...if it is necessary to  determine how long
each battle has lasted in game terms (eg, if is is part of a campaign)
then treat each full turn as being equivalent to 15 minutes...".

Just a suggestion from our benevolent designer, not a hard
fast-in-stone scale. Again, just to refresh our perspectives.
