The ones we used to have on harpo would last an average
of 6 to 8 months.  We used an ETU of 30 minutes (BTW,
Blitz Empire is not ETU = 30 sec, it's ETU = 4 sec).
Usually, after a few months, the world would be polarized
into two camps (with the weak countries watching) and
then, finally, it would end in an all-out conventional
exchange.  It was great.  Those were the days of Empire!
