    In this instance, there is a certain set of initial conditions that yield a propagation speed of c/10, or something, given the game's parameters?

I don't know anything regarding the extent to which the parameters have been extended into generalized rules. I am sure plenty of work has been done, however. It is a rabbit-hole to be sure. This is worth checking out:
