How do you go to battle?

[Now, that's amazing! 500 units on the map, did you draw each of those 500 units on the paper (including it's disposition, mission, etc)? I wonder how large the paper is...

Oh no, I don't get more detailed than about company level. I'd make a drawing putting each of those in their sector of deployment (usually just north, center and south) and their rough direction of advance. That way when a new turn came I could use it to quickly see which formation is to veer off north and which south etc. Helped avoid traffic jams.

Those big games were MBT games btw. I once bought an entire '85 dutch mech brigade with higher echelon attachments to fight a reinforced polish regiment. That's the kind of set-up I really like! :smoke:

@Seabolt:
Wasn't Hannibal the colonel just quoting Hannibal the general?
