Relationship between wargame scale and unit size
A graphic I whipped up showing the approximate scale of selected WW2 ETO warames in relation to typical unit sizes (data for U.S./Commonwealth units). This should be useful for those starting out in wargaming who want to get a feel for what those little NATO symbols mean in terms of force size. Of course, many games have a range of unit sizes. The arrows are meant to represent 'centres of gravity' of predominant unit sizes for given games.

The only thing that bugs me about my graphic is that I have War in Europe at the high end of operational (same with AVL, but that seems to belong there). Given that WIE has a production spiral, I would almost be tempted to push it towards low-end strategic. Any thoughts?

True Kev, but I wanted to keep the graphic centred on WW2 ETO, for the sake of simplicity. Might be interesting to do more of these for different periods and nationalities.

Yeah, I used a logarithmic scale. Each axis point is 10x the previous one.

interesting graphic.A big jump from 10 to 100 but it makes sense and they wanted to keep the scale consistent.
