RE: BN FMA: Some questions and thoughts

Assuming 1 mu = 500m to 2 km, then 1 stand (Infantry or Vehicle) can be
a 
platoon.  Players will be Battalion/TF Commanders.  Time scale is @
15minutes 
to an hour.  Movement can be huge, though this does not mean that every
mu will 
be or should be used.  VTOL and Grav start to come into their own.

Starts to look like Ogre.

But we have DS2 already for that, and I'm expecting it to be FMA-ized
relatively soon.  For FMA:BN, I'm hoping to get something:
a) as quick and easy as DBA or Ogre
b) suitable for campaigns--so scale should be about battalion/brigade
c) *not* excessively detailed--should be flexible enough to fit any
background (Slammers, Ogre, GZGverse, whatever) without too many
special rules
