Game "pieces" come in platoon and company size. The standard is company size for maneuver units and platoon for specialist units.

Formations which can be represented will typically be battalions up to reinforced brigade groups.

Game maps will typcally be 15km x 20km divided into 500m squares

See the AAR Thread for a look at how the units look in the game.
