Ah, but the question is: 44:30m broadcast hour? Or 60m cable broadcast hour? Everything I have heard and been told is 1 page equals 1 minute, so I would aim at the cable version of an hour. I, personally, would do a 75% split between the buildup/first days of the war and where they are now for the first episode, a 25% buildup/first days, 50% Second Mexican War, and then where they are now, with maybe 10% for the last 8 episodes devoted to the past events that tie into whats going in in the episode. In the first two, I would mix it up, so there is context between the principles in the current time as well as what happened before... "Oh man, remember when division cuba tried pulling this crap... *flashback* And here we go again, lets not muck it up this time.."
