Thus far....

Oh, I know all about the "...best laid plans of mice and men..." adage from the games as well as from the 'Nam.

Thank you for your service there GG. I appreciate that. 

So the activation rules and chaining the activation is really key as I found out playing a couple folks here. Being able to move half or more of your forces at once can be a shocker. 

Also you are right, a divisional battle here, unless it is Marines on some little tiny island would really not be fun. At that point you might also decide that the Fog of War rules are a little too strict. A few of us modify that rule to only kick in after a set number of turns, a set number of leader losses or some more complex method so that in a huge scenario, half your stuff does not get stuck not moving on most turns. I would think about that and experiment till you find what you think simulates well. 

Finally, a pitch for you to play on VASSAL. 
First, I can play with you and I would like that. 
Second and more important, you can zoom in on everything. I have bad eyes so this is literally the only way to play.
Third. I never have to clean up a game from night to night. I tend to play with two folks here one night a week each and we do a game over a couple weeks/months. 

Welcome and enjoy the games.
