Re: Does size matter?
My favorite battles are with the biggest maps, and with the maximum amount of units that are possible, but this doesn’t mean that I have great numbers of frontline units, with frontline support. There may be 2 to 3 heavy coys (mixed), with some supporting specialized platoons (such as engineers), and with mobile supporting AA and arty.
Why?
My forces are then often stretch thin, for me this is a challenge, since I have to choose my deployment with care, which units will provide flanking support, where to deploy my support units and so on.
Very often I will face numerous enemy units with few units of my own. I then have to decide if I should rush some support from my other objectives, to hold, delay or destroy these enemy units.
I have often experienced enemy breaches between my main areas, and I have often had to engage enemy units between my main areas as I rush units between the "no mans land". This has also resulted in loss of my units, since they have been victims of enemy ambush.
This is fun.
