Er, I'm not sure if this is reasonable within the rule's set concept.

The 6" distance for commands is in scale to 60 meters, which is a
reasonable distance to shout commands. 12" to 24" is 120 to 240 meters.
So outside of this distance all communications are by radio; so why does
the distance reduce the number of squads the Pl Comd can communicate to?
