Alright, this thread isn't about HOW to create a ground battle, the thread is a set of questions and information ABOUT ground battles.
Just today, in light of all of the question(s) concerning ground battles, I decided to create my own mini-battle. Each side US military vs. Red Russian military had equal number of tanks, APCs, IFVs, and so on, to eliminate any advantages. The battle was AWESOME (I'm easily impressed)! You could hear the sounds of the explosions, and see the ground troops being systematically destroyed! Well, it came down to two T 117 (or whatever that Red Russian tanks is named) and one M 11A/B Abram tank. And sadly, the Abram lost... but oh well! The show was SWEET!
I built the ground battle with individual tanks, but did put them in group formations. The units ended up pretty far apart, but I don't think it really mattered. I would enjoy hearing some opinions on how YOU build YOUR ground battles. And, do you guys use any randomness to the battles and/or use timed starts?
