Scale

Champs de Bataille is designed to simulate the fighting between armies of widely differing types over a long period of history, accordingly the scale will alter from game to game. Nevertheless, as a general guide, the scales are as follows:

• A game turn is equivalent to about 15 minutes of real time.
• A hexagon represents about 50 metres.
• Each unit represents about 125 to 250 cavalry or foot, 1000 men if a warband, and 15 elephants or 25 chariots.
