These were (of course) incidents I heard about 2nd hand. But from what I was told the Army unit commander assumed a much larger number of troops was necessary to generate that many near misses. I don't know exactly what the range was when the engagement started but was told they were about 200m apart when it ended. The whole thing didn't last more then a couple minutes so I'd assume they were maybe 3-400m apart when it started.

I quite agree on the subject of across the board changes, why I haven't made any.
And yes, the only reasonable way to deal with things like US Army Rangers is to give them an Experience or Moral Modifier in the formations tab (did both as "needed" for Recon Marines and Navy SEALS).
I guess I'll have to disagree on the game scale issue, I'm of exactly the opposite opinion, I think a game at this scale is perfect for showing such differences. Any smaller and it's really man-to-man combat where units only exist to give the game a basic military structure. Any higher level and you're talking about units where only organization and size matters not the particulars of the troops.
