Ok, so I'm starting my second T2k campaign (this time in Poland) and I've been thinking about how I want to handle organized (ie. still functioning and coherent) military units in their area of influence.
In my Swedish campaign, my players didn't run into many still functioning military units, and when they did they usually took a long detour since I was playing the military as still very organized and grouped in large groups.
However, with watching a lot of how the current war in Ukraine is playing out, I'm thinking of making the still organized units spread out more to hold the territory.
Operating in smaller groups of maybe 2-10 guys setting up in forward bases and rotating every X number of days, with a slightly larger main force located somewhere more centralized where the troops can come back for R&R and where the command is located.
This could lead to situations where you'd have somewhat regular skirmishes between opposing forces that are near each others areas like the 2nd Armored and 57th guards who are pretty near each other when it comes to their areas of control.
This feels more natural to me than the militaries just holing up in some larger town and staying there.
