Default Re: favorite maps sizes

Hi Codman,

With the force you describe, I'd probably go with a map between 100x100 (keep in mind 100x100 is a quarter of the size of 200x200) to 120x140 maximum.

But that's just my preference...and I like room to manouvre.

That force of yours will be 'all at sea' on a map 10KM x 10KM. I don't recall what the 'normal' frontage is for a battalion, depends on the theatre, terrain, objective etc. but I'd imagine it was somewhere between 1KM to 3KM.

Thanks for the responses!! I'll try reducing the map size and see what happens although I fully intend to avoid the "knife fight in the phone booth" stuff as that's way too close for me...

I don't know. I've got one of those "win at all cost" campaigns going and my Tigers (king and otherwise) might have some fun. Granted, the Brits have those stupid paits and the US have bazookas. Still...
