Some of these combats involved an NPC ally (though to be honest I tend to play those less than optimally, they might take two rounds to make a choice, just moving in-between or say "I'll watch our back for reinforcements!")2. I did not count set up time. This would make it really difficult to measure properly, tho. Because sometimes I have it pre-set up. Sometimes I have it pre-drawn on 1-inch grid paper and just have to roll it out. Sometimes I draw it on a wet erase, and sometimes wet-erase + scatter terrain. Sometimes (like Sunday's ogre fight) include a full laid out (DIY) terrain piece.  I will say, that I am VERY fast at drawing usable/clear wet-erase setting if the battle happens unexpectedly or out in the wilderness. Other times, we will take our 10 minute break (we take one or two depending on session length) and I will do the set-up while folks are getting a smoke or a snack. Most often RP and other tactical planning discussion happens while I am setting up - so very little time is lost.Luckily, my in-person group are also my closest local friends (we moved back to my wife's hometown in 2019), so we all hangout regularly doing non-game things and have a board game night where other spouses are involved (one couple both play in the D&D group, but my wife and another player's are not into RPGs) and those games are a lot more casual with the global politics, etc discussions.</blockquote>
