As an example I've got a Germany vs Soviet Union campaign going where I'm the Soviets and it's August 1941. I've got a core of 1 medium tank company, 1 infantry leg company and 1 motorized infantry company. I've thrown in 2 platoons of 37mm guns and 2 sections of SPAA for support. Most of the time I load the leg infantry onto the tanks so that I can cover lots of ground. Would a map of 200 x 200 be too big for 3 companies to cover in real life? I like a large map as the AI seems to have more room to surprise me but if there are better sizes to use I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance

200x200 seems huge,for 3 companies,and would have lots of scrolling.
But every one has their preferences.
