Hmmm. Then a IG tactical company would have 4800 - 8000 men and a tank
company would have 50 tanks...
That would be more like a brigade/regiment. I think the so called "scale" or
rather lack of any scale whatsoever comes from the fact that if the large
tanks and titans were done in scale with infantry then either the machines
would be so big as to be completely unwieldy (and horrendously expensive) or
the infantry would be so small you would need to paint it with the help of a
microscope.
