Infantry moves at 10cm and runs (Marches) at 30cm. During the Assault
phase they charge at 20cm. This is, of course, assuming humanoid
infantry.

As far as time scale is concerned the authors suggest that one Assault
phase is comparable to a 4 turn game of WH40k.

Yes, so squads of infantry who don't have special or heavy weapons
(assault, Eldar guardians, etc.) will have a range of 15cm.
