Yea Gods, I ought to stop writing when I'm running on too little sleep
and too
many Timbits.

Rewritten:

In the wargaming sense, it's a matter of how many soldiers you put on
the
table top. Skirmish wargames imply that the game is played at the single
soldier level. That doesn't mean that the scale is 1:1, but rather that
the
decisions are being made for a single soldier.
