RE: [SG2][DS2] battalion or regimental level meta-game

DS2 has a ground scale of 1"=100m (p.4), so a hex would be 10-20" 
SG2 has a ground scale of 1"=10m (p.5), so a hex would be 100-200"

Or to put it another way, if you have 1 hex = 1km and use 2, 30x96",
tables:
A SG table would be less than 1 hex (1 hex tall, 1/2 hex wide).
A DS table would be about 10x9 hexes (you loose about 1/2 hex on every
other
hex when figuring width).

\__/  \__/   Every other hex you can only count
/  \__/  \   the width of the base, not corner
\__/  \__/   to corner
/  \__/  \
\  /  \  /

If you go to 1/2km per hex, it might be easier.
SG 2x1 hexes
DS 20x20 (rounding for ease of use)

Any way you look at it a DS2 board represents about 100 (actually 90 and
10
partial) SG2 boards.
