The size of a particular force on a given map will be determined by the CG. On one map may be deployed a large force for an advance mission while on another map a smaller force may be allocated for a defense or screening mission. It depends on the maneuver scheme chosen by the CG. That is why it will be a TEAM effort and victory/defeats per segment will be determined by the OVERALL team result of a given segment. It's possible that on one map a player is only allocated a company or two for a defense mission where as the opposing CG has decided that this will be the map on which he makes his main effort thus will the defender be outnumbered. That is why victory's and defeats per each game segment will be calculated as to the overall success of the ENTIRE team for that segment. The defender in the above mentioned example may lose that individual defense battle but still gain a victory for that segment if overall his TEAM wins that segment by capturing more V hex's than his opponent on ALL the maps combined.

NOTE: the placement of V HEX"S in each segment will be determined by a couple of factors including force size ratios and the orders that are issued to the subordinate commanders by the respective CG.
EXAMPLE: On map (A) a commander is issued 2 INF Cos with orders to defend an important town/crossroads hex and also to screen North and South of the town and report/block in that area any enemy movements. The opposing commander however has been given an entire Battalion sized combined arms task force with orders to seize the cross road and exploit in the direction of the CGs choosing. In that case I will place V hex's in places that will reflect the orders of both sides and also the force ratios of each commander. If a defender is greatly outnumbered then the V hex's will be placed further away from the attacker but still within attainable range for a 20 turn segment. You won't know what you're up against until the battle starts and you've had a chance to recon/observe, and what you discover during the battle you report back to the CG so he can make overall adjustments to the Grand Maneuver Scheme: dispatch reserves to the threatened sector possibly or even allow his opponent to advance on that particular map in hopes of enveloping him from the north and south. It's all up to the CG who is in overall command and that is why it will be a team effort and a win/loss for each segment will be determined by the overall success of the team during that 20 turn segment
ALSO: The CG must command the battle using his Grand Master Map only! It is not permitted that subordinates send him files of his ongoing game or screen shots of his deployment, etc. The CG must control the Battle by reacting to the reports from his subordinate commanders only.
