I have a test scenario with the full OOB for both armies at June 30 strength. On the Kansas map it runs about 7 FPS with all troops standing still. If you start a significant amount of combat, it looks like 160K people playing freeze tag. This is on my alienware quadcore system, so its not an issue of computer power. It's just more sprites than the game can deal with properly.

As soon as we get the SDK out, you can set up scenarios with the full OOB if you want to try it for yourselves.

Thanks.

Lets not forget a full OOB can be a 15k vs 15k, 20k vs 15k (ect) not just the 60k vs 70k (or whatever it is) day 3.

The Day 2 and Day 3 OOBs completely filled up the individual maps--MacMap, Culp's Hill, etc. There were so many troops, there was no room to maneuver. It was the size of the maps that were the constraint.
