Could Someone Summarize Years vs. Turns in M2TW

[A.Saturnus]

From what I've read:

1 TURN=2 YEARS

I don't like it, I hate gun powder.

Except for characters. And that it will be winter every second turn.

I have been out of touch with it myself, but to me it looks like this:

- the game will cover a historical period of 450 years
- the campaign will have 225 turns maximum (though you'll be able to play on after that)
- characters will age by one year every two turns
- every second turn will be a winter turn
- the four facts above do not stand in any special relation to each other. They do neither contradict nor confirm one another, like vanilla pudding and income tax. If you think a persona's age, turns turned and years passed should have any connection, you probably do not understand this game correctly.
Think differently!

Ahhh....I have it now.

I think the game does not understand time.

If 4 calendar years = 2 turns = 1 character year, the game passes 4x too fast or characters age 4x too slowly.

That is unless your character is Chuck Norris. "Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is."

O'Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended. "How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?"
"Four."
"And if the Party says that it is not four but five - then how many?"
