Well, CD is in fact a regimental level game, not Divisional level. As
it happens the way it plays tends to make you forget that it is not 1:1,
the 1:5 thing only seems to effect how TO&E's are done.
Spearhead, one the other hand, which uses the same 1:5 ratio, rules
mechanics are such that it is a divisional level game, and each unit
DOES feel like a platoon, not a single tank.
