Re: Does size matter?
one thing first. Yes it does ;P
I am playing mostly 100x100 maps now because i have 2 overstrength rifle companies.
It is good to have some free room for maneuver imho and some art of the battle should be to find the enemy and prepare an attack on him. on a small map i dont get this. the enemy is simply everywhere.
you can still have thoose 30-40 hexes assault frontage but now it is in a much larger context.
For example one group of units is fighting adelaying action helped by artillery while another group destroys an isolated group of the enemy. with this huge maps you can actually encircle
enemy groups. it is a lot of small battles happening on one map.
this is best for meeting engagements and advance/delay missions
for assaults the frontlines are thinly held in this cases.
