Playing real time for a force larger than a squad cannot possibly yeild realistic results.
No I mean your point is incorrect.
There is no way a company commander can play this game in real time because there is no time for one person to give the orders that a company co, four platoon leaders and 12 squad leaders would do playing real time.
You are mistaking the time crunch that one person would face with a need to play in real time. Playing in real time would yield totally unrealistic results because the one person would be torn between the details in one area and the details in another. When the real issue is incomplete oveeall information and managing the volume of information coming in.
Probably to simulate a company commander they would have to be in the other room on a phone while someone playing the platoon commanders and squad leaders in WEGO mode. And even then there would have to be a time limit on the phone conversation.
... but this is a simulation of real life, not real life! What is your definition of "simulation"?
or an easier one, "how long is a piece of string?"
Check Radio Commander and Radio General ...
