Hello Griefbringer, and thank you for taking to time to reply and offer your opinion. I would like to have space to manoeuvre and flank.

I plan on starting a generated campaign between the U.S and Russia starting in 1960 and ending in 1985. It will probably be 10-15 battle, and more than likely the maps will be in central Europe.

What do you mean when you say "20 hexes of frontage per company"? Thank you very much
