Start Time Confusion: Heraklion Scenario 1

[Mikirk]

Hello, starting into my first ever PG solo-learning game, so pardon me if I’m getting this wrong here, but printed start time is 1700 for 18 turns… but then in Conclusion there are references to 1000 and “into late afternoon.” I’m thinking it’s supposed to be 0700 hours start, and turn 3 Reinforcement attempts begin at 0745? (Otherwise there would be dusk/night turns, yes?)

There are 3 time notations: First Turn at 1700, reinforcement check stating turn 3 (1730) and the narrative note of the carrier arriving at 1000. So the inconsistency is in the scenario narrative. So the narration time is likely the typo.

So the game looks to start at 1700, Germans start rolling for reinforcements at 1730 (turn 3) and the sun starts going down at 2000 (turn 13).

Thank You, Sir.

Yeah, this is curious error of either the narration text or the description/conclusion being describing a more overall action. The narration does seem to allude it happened during the day... but... I do grasp Peter's logic.

 I tried to find anything online about the actual fight and couldn't.  So, I sent an email to Mike Perryman to clarify.  I post his response when and if I get it.

     The scenario starts at 17:00. As the conclusion says it took the British a great deal of time to actually go forward.
