Sv: [SG2] large games (batallion level and up)

> The largest I've heard is company level. At conventions I try to keep
the siz
es down to about a platoon a side. 30 to 40 figures usually comes up
with scena
rios that are over in 3 to 4 hours. I'd hesitate to guess how much time
a batta
lion based game would take. That would be what, two to four companies
aside? If
 you assume 3 companies per battalion and 3 platoons per company and 30
figures
 per platoon, you're looking 270 figures a side. Woah. You'd better have
an ent
ire weekend planned. At least.

Actually we DO play a lot of games that last a whole week-end and
sometimes con
tinue a few wednesdays(our usual gaming night) after that. It's usually
napoleo
nics but we are planning a ww2 1/300 week-end next year and I thought of
making
 a SG2 week-end game my self. It'll probably be 1 or 2 battalions a side
(they 
need not be on the table at the same time, could be reinforcements etc.)

> Another problem with a battalion based game is that you'd need a LOT
of space
. In platoon based games, 6' by 4' is usually the minimum I use, with a
wider t
able preferred. To do a battalion game justice you'd have to have a lot
of room
 to maneouvre. I'd say 12' by 6' minimum and probably even longer than
that. 
> I wouldn't go much over a company. The "monster" games I've heard of
for SG2 
were company level. I have enough figures for a company level based game
in 15m
m, but haven't bothered to get that many for 25mm. 

:-) We have the tables for creating these size of battles and  I do not
need to
 buy all the figures my self. As I' count on the scenario to be ww2
based, most
 people will probably buy at least a few squads each and the rest of it
will be
 bought by a few entusiasts :-))
