The land area of CT is 4845 square miles; the land area of Liverpool is 40 square miles. You have to remember that everything is painfully small on the wrong side of the pond (except for packets of sugar, which are inexplicably huge).

I'd be offended if it wasn't all so terribly true.
Funny, I get that reaction alot; have you met my ex-wife?
Oh, and Belgium is roughly 11, 800 square miles (slightly larger than Massachusetts, if we're going to keep with the whole New England theme).

I went to the US once, when i was really young.
I can distinctly remember the almost comedically oversized chairs.
Because people are more......... horizontal.. .there.

They just seemed bigger because you were tiny, and don't even get me started on the thimble that passes for a rocks glass in London (the land of Swift and the home of the Lilliputian gin and tonic).
I'm going to assume that "horizontal" is a polite British euphemism that refers to the vast and majestic thundering herds of my calorically challenged countrymen, to which I reply: There's a reason I live on an island off the coast.

Hey, now, be nice. We're not all ridiculously fat. Just the Midwest.
And the South.
And parts of the West. And Northeast.
Connecticut is about 10% the size of England, a little smaller than Devon.
Not everyone in the Midwest is fat. Not everyone from the South is dumb. I live in California but I don't surf, but there are lots and lots of fat people.

Yeah, I was more pointing out that it's tiny than making a literal comparison between the two...
But thank you, bestbrian, for your brilliant wikidetective work.
Anyway: it's small.
Actually, I'm old school and used an Encyclopedia, although I had to deduce the land area of Liverpool from population density figures; jeesh, you're cranky.

And Belgium is 11800 sq mi (or 30500 sq km for people who use real untis
)So we are actually more than twice as big as connecticut

Like Massachusetts and Rhode Island, only more civilized and with phenomenal chocolate and beer (and less grating accents).
On topic, RPG's and SAM's are more than capable of taking out a tank with a good hit. Quite a few abrams have been badly mauled in Iraq by them and IED's. The Russians also lost a lot of tanks fighting in Chechnya. There is a reason tank doctrine teaches to stay out of cities.
Hence the creation of beasts like the Stryker.

Correct. And if you were looking for that then you've got the wrong game. It's been that way since Civ 1 and it will be that way through Civ whatever. Civ is all about somewhat abstract strategy and it does that very well. If you want a wargame, get one. I'll enjoy 'em both but never confuse them.

More than four times as big - you're using square miles...
Pedantic I know, but hey, this is a topic about a computer game being slightly unrealistic. When in Rome...
