Largest Quick Battle you've Fought

[SlapHappy]

I know many of you don't care for the current quick battle implementation....

But for those of you who do occasionally play them....what's the largest troop concentration you've been able to create?

On huge, I was able to create a Syrian Heavy Infantry force of ~1400-1500 troops vs. 359 US Light Infantry with various Humvee support. The heaviest weapon the Syrians had in support was the 30 mm grenade launcher. The US side had 4 sections of 60 mm mortars as well.

I've had a battle with almost 1700 low-quality troops on the Syrian AI side. These battles aren't usually difficult, especially against the AI, because the low quality troops are such rubbish. I usually play these mega test games to see how the AI treats his huge infantry pool.

Unfortunately, the AI tends to create what I call "comets" with his formations. Bunching up in front with a large mass of troops creates a ball, while a tail of troops moving toward the head follow in single file. These tend to be fodder for a well placed mortar strike, with the resulting casualties and confusion rendering large chunks of the infantry AI completely useless for the rest of the game.

It's too bad the infantry can't be moved about better than it is by the AI. The ability to move in something approaching a skirmish line would be a start.
