For me its more basic than that.
My interest in military history began and evolved along with my interest in historical wargaming and so having to 'beat the clock' during battles is completely contrary to my interest in the game and I was only too pleased to banish it so that I could spend more time on tactics.
In fact I would prefer the duration of a battle to be determined by the time of day it started and for the end to be signalled by the gradually closing in of darkness.
IMO: The 30 minute timer is just a sop to the MP market which doesn't even begin to make up for the continued lack of a proper MP campaign option.
