It was rare that I added turns to a proposed scenario (maybe 5% of the time) but I cut a designer's proposed game length many times (over 50% of the scenarios submitted in some cases) and sometimes cut them by as much as 20%. I wanted the attacker to feel time was also an enemy. Not enough of an enemy so he could not reform and attack again, but enough of an enemy to eliminate the slow, methodical, very low risk option that can guarantee a victory in some of the old scenarios. Maybe not an entirely realist position but I felt that imposing a tempo made for better scenarios.
And this is what made PG a much better game: putting pressure on the attacker to 'get 'er done."
