Zone of Control

[fastphil]

I have been playing Moscow 1942 although this applies to most/all PZC games as well.  Unit cohesion/influence is not well portrayed and maybe given the game engine it is by design.  How can an X man infantry battalion exert a zone-of-control in all surrounding hexes and lock a unit from passing around it?   Maybe in the desert or the Russian Steppes with ranged weapons but in less open areas one would ignore the remnants.  I think one issue it is all or nothing.  I have seen many units fight to the last man-no matter what nationality.  In many cases these units might not surrender but the would dissolve-everyman for himself.
