A question on the tactical grids
 

Hello readers!
I was setting up some troop formations and got to wondering:
How does the battle resolution grid relate to the positional grid in the transfer units screen?
I count 18x18 squares in the army screen, and 28x29 in the battle. I would have expected a more direct relationship between the two. Please enlighten me!

The battle grid scales, depending on the size of the armies fighting the battle.

Ah ok, now it makes sense - thanks. I didn't notice the scaling battle grid.

Up to infinity? Can you have a 20,000 unit army?

Computers can't handle integers beyond a certain limit, so no, not to infinity. 65,535 (2^16-1) is a common upper bound.

[Edit]A quick search turns up this from the Dom3 FAQ:

Well, you must have one of those new-fangled contraptions. My 4-bit computer only counts to 15, but if I short out the carry bit with my tongue I can get it to go all the way up to 31.
