I agree with this thread SGII is difficult to play 'properly' with 25/28
mm
figs (e.g. two opposing platoons) on a 6x4 board,  there just is not the
room for squads to maneuver without being shot at.  I rarely play
anything
more than a couple of squads on this size of board.   (I must amitt to
being lucky enough to have a 9x5 board in the garage which starts to be
big
enough for 2 platoons plus a couple of APCs in support).
