Scope, or How Big a Battlefield?

Joined: 13 Apr 2007 Posts: 89 Location: Naples, Fl

This poll question concerns Scope---- in other words, how big an engagement do we wish to fight? This question is closely related to the Scale poll which tells us what we want a unit to be. This poll will help us determine how any of those units we will need. So are you looking to fight skirmishes or small meeting engagements? Do you want to defend Hougamont or take La Haye. Perhaps your desire is to crush the Russians at Borodino.

So, how big a force do you wish to command? Please vote, and vote with your heart. Choose what you really want, not what you think will ultimately be chosen. Also, don't concern yourself with your choices in the other polls while making the choice in this poll.

I like bigger scope game scales, so controlling at least a Division, but Corps or larger is best.

I figure aiming at a Corps sized game, simply as most serious engagements of te period were involving at least several divisions. It can also be upgraded with relative ease for those meglomaniacs who want to redo Waterloo or Austerlitz. If based at Corps level, this could also easily be broken down to smaller Divisional games for quickies or newbies...

So, Corps command, lowest unit command represented Regiment/Brigade, made up of so many teams

I want a Division level game that has the possiblility of getting some friends together and running multiple divisions.

While I believe running a Corps is ideal at this scale, my real deciding factor is what will comfortably fit on a 4'x6' table (it's what I have.)

A corp is the best I think in 15 mm or 10 mm for me Wink
