I think people wanting massive forces should also take a simple factor into acount map height is not going to change as previosly stated by the team so the biggest front you can play is 200 hexes.
Just how many Companies do you think would be involved in an action on a front this size. For many smaller nations the represented force could be bigger than there entire army.
Dont get me wrong I tend to err on the side of largish games purely because formations & hence OOBs are set up to make getting a realistic mix of forces easier if you buy larger forces. 3 rifle companies now instead of buying bits I can buy pre made formations like a support company, a recon group, sensible arty AAA etc. If this was a Mech force with a company or 2 of tanks in support it suddenly blossoms into 150 units
