RE: [DSII] What Size Forces Do I Need?

Part of the problem was that almost all of the players were newbies! I
was
chosen as attacking commander because I had played 1 game! Unfortunatly,
I
had to leave before the game finished (compromise with wife on usage of
vacation time).

It wasn't that big.  The attacking force was an ad hoc
batallion (1 company each mech infantry, medium tanks,
heavy tanks, scout platoon, mortar platoon, artillery
battery, engineer platoon, and IIRC some aviation)
against a hodgepodge of defending forces amounting to
2 batallions or so.  With a good block minefield group
in, which nicely channellized the attackers.
