Ah, most modern war games, and for that matter most war games in general, don't
have a match between FIGURE scale and GROUND scale.

Granted GW games have a problem with the ratio of small arms/tank
weapons/artillery ranges, but have a "game" range of say 25-45 cm is rather
common as the basic "grunt" units range is rather common in most games, just
what 25 cm in changes for game to game.
