Watch the effects if hit them now especially with a MMG its worth hosing down to see if it has a rider, certainly if grouped together so splash damage hits several.

A tall map does tend to spread the AI if it does not have the forces to cover allowing the human player to easily gain local force superiority & pick off.
Now I think about it in a campaign if you adjust the map size for battle types it will make for a better battle.

AI defending > shrink height so a more dense frontage with less ways to exploit.

AI attacking > shrink width so has to travel less & so maintains unit cohesion better.
Stop fast stuff racing ahead to much.
Great idea about adjusting the map size for the mission, to cripple human defense and help AI defense, only problem is I think the only way is random, as you can go with a size and hope the mission goes along with that. Then re-load if it does not. You have to pick the map size before the mission is stated.
