Quite frankly, for this era in history, 12 turns a year would not be out of the question for realism's sake. Especially when you add naval movement, and things like the American revolution. At 2 turns a year, the American revolution would have to be complete in what? 16 turns? I just hope they pay attention to the speed of travel and all. With some of the other games being x amount of turns per year, you got some really oddly long travel times occasionally.
