These designations aren't always consistent. Next there's a unit labeled '37/-/1', meaning Panzerpionierbataillon 37 (Armored Engineer Battalion 37/ not part of a regiment directly assigned to 1st Armored Division). 2), an artillery unit '73/1' (Artillerieregiment 73(mot.)) These units are regiments and part of 1st Panzerdivision. Using the Race to Dunkirk scenario, for example, on the German side there are from north to south: Two tank units designated '1/1', meaning Panzerregiment 1 (Pz.R. In most cases, regiments are used, with the addition of battalions that were directly subordinate to division HQ, such as divisional engineer battalions. Rather, the scenarios appear more in scale with the historical battles if the units are considered to be regiments/brigades, with the exception of reconnaissance units (and perhaps some anti-aircraft units), which would remain battalions.Īccording to the unit designations, units appear in battalion as well as regiment sizes (or as battalions and brigades for Great Britain and the Commonwealth, a British brigade being roughly equivalent to a regiment in other armies). The majority of scenarios average about 1.5km per hex.Īlthough the game’s designers claim that the units represent battalions, this does not always appear to be accurate. The geographical scale appears to vary from 1.0km to 2.0km per hex, depending on the scenario being played.
