Sir, where do the 120 or 125 yard hexes come into play? I'm not sure why you said <i>"The biggest job is to come up with a map on 120 (or 125) yard hex scale"</i>
Confused, but that's not out of the ordinary. [:)]
Yes, I agree soft zones are a problem with entrenchment warfare. I also think entrenched defender's fire isn't represented well enough by the game engine either. True, units behind entrenchments or embankments get a defensive bonus, but I think they should get a positive offensive modifier for firing behind head-logs/top-logs too. The men can take better aim resting their rifles and knowing their noggins have some protection. The question is though which battles were fought with entrenchments that used head-logs.
