Hi Pin,
long time no see you.
Pin,
select the control panel and click on Military ...
there's a time until next turn listed there for each unit.

However, give me a few minutes and I'll confuse the Hades out of you.

The game tick time is set to Rocky Mountain time at 12:00 am and for a more familiar reference, that occurs for me at 2:00 am EST (i.e. two hrs later);

So for you in Germany I think it will be a total of 8 hours later because I think you are six hours later than EST in Germany ... aren't you?

Then also a 2T/day game ticks twice a day and so the second tick is at 12:00 pm Rocky Mountain time and again you would be 8 hours later than that in Germany I believe.

Good luck old friend,

Oops
There is still something else you need to know and it's that there is such a thing as *late turns*.
Late turns occur when you take your turn more than a quarter of the turn late and it is for each unit so that some of your units can be on late catch up turns while others may have been moved ontime.

Anyway if you are late moving a unit, it is automatically set to catchup turns which occur 3/4s of a turn apart until finally the unit is caught up to the regular turn cycle.
For a 2T/day game the catchup turns would be 9 hours apart and I think there will be about three of them until the last one which may be about 10 hours later or so, but will re-synchronize your unit with the regular 12 hour cycle.

thank you very much, rex! :-)

Pin,
the only problem is that I made a mistake ...
technically the first turn and then suceeding turns are actually later for me and you than 12:00 am Rocky Mountain time, not earlier So I went back to edit that ...
hope it didn't cause you any grief.
