I sort of agree with Temp (gag! what a horrible trend! ;).
Most of the games I've played went 3 turns, a few going only 2 turns,
and a very few going 4 or more (generally these were very large battles).
I have played 2 1-turn battles, winning one and losing one (very
embarassing). The one turn battles both required a combination of
(1) Very big mistakes (2) Very skewed dice-luck (ex, my wierd-boy
blows up on a 6, rolls maximum explosion radius, and kills exactly
enough stands to break the otherwise completely untouched Deathskulls,
which gave exactly enough points to win the game) and (3) two very
mechanized and mobile armies (marines vs orks with loads of vehicles
and all infantry on battlewagons), which closed together immediately.

Maybe this is the same guy whose army all moves 25-70 cm on the
first turn. That could end a battle quicly.
