Remember that as DS2 has a ground scale of 1" to 100m that a single 
building model represents a sizable amount of real estate and that 
combat in urban areas is very abstracted. Still we want things to 
look good, don't we?

I'd use 8-10mm per storey in non-industrial buildings. Count a peaked 
roof as another storey (maybe a bit more) on top.
