Thank you.
Currently playing a WW2 LC with a soviet rifle battalion core + a few light tanks. 80x80 seems fine for that. 80 deep allows you to get to the end zone in 30 or so moves in the attack or assault while walking.

(Frontage for a battalion would really be about 1-1.5 clicks, or 20-30 hexes, but a 40 wide by 80 deep map would be a little too restrictive methinks. )

Cheers
Andy
