A matter of scale

[J6A]

I recently picked up Great War Commander by Hexasim.  Basically it's Combat Commander ported back to World War 1 with a few changes to reflect the different situation.  Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Anyway, as I was reading the rules, I noticed that GWC is platoon scale, as compared to CC, which is squad level.  It's interesting that they made this choice.  It mirrors the change between platoon scale and company scale between PG and IA.

Not sure if this should be here or in analog gaming, so move it if it's in the wrong place.
