One assumes the the five pixel troopers represent a 9-12 man squad. The size of the average map measures, say, 6 miles square? But the range of the heavy guns seems conservative. For example, that of German 88 given clear LOS should basically extend the entire length. With a decent chance to score a it. I'm guessing the ranges represented are 'reasonably high' probabilities in the interests of simplicity to which the game aspires as well as the absence of the ability to set cover arcs a la Combat Mission. Is this correct?

I don't 'know' this, but I think a lot of the design is subjective.

People using specifics of actual weapons from the real world need to do so with great caution.

I have yet to find any of the battles unfun though.
