[Rules] Unit scale - tanks

RE: Unit scale - tanks
Well Antonio, my copy of the 4th edition rules says 4-5 tanks per counter. 3rd edition rules stated 5 tanks. When you get to 3 tanks per counter it creates the scalability question you seem to be wrestling with. So, my first suggestion is to forget 3 vehicle counters, life will get simpler.

My second suggestion is, when composing forces which require tank leaders, look to the upper echelon to fill and forget the platoons. That is, first decide what the appropriate leader count is for the company/squadron, then using the 4-5 vehicle scale fill the unit. This works pretty well with Soviet and French DCR companies. Things get stickier with French DLM squadrons (4 troops of 5 vehicles per squadron), and 3rd edition games with the British.
... More and more, people around the world are coming to realize that the world is flat! Winking
