I usually allocate number of turns based on point values I'm using:
20 turns for 400 pts or <
25 turns for 401 to 750
30 turns for 751 to 1250
40 turns for 1251 to 2000
60 turns for 2001+
Heard about it from a friend. He had invited my family over for dinner, had the demo on his PC, needless to say I wasn't much for conversation that evening, played it 3 times.
It was on my "Gotta Have" list that night.
Another vote for "Waterloo" from Breakaway Games.
I really would like to see a CM based game for the Napoleonic period. The break in the action in CM makes it much easier to control large formations.
