There is no problem with official scales.  There is a problem with the 
current generation of wargamers who grew up looking at a book that says 
XYZ tank can go XYZ mph, and expecting to take their tank platoons and 
drive it around a battlefield at XYZ mph.  And most rulesets permit 
this.  I've seen Command Decision (fine game, but. . )tanks moving 50" 
in a turn.  NOT!  Tactical operations are a LOT slower than the book 
speeds.
