Concepts of Forward line of Battle, and operational sectors can serve to reduce blue on blue, but you need a functioning C & C element, and people who will stay within the parameters set for them.. and good maps.. and good nav skills.

This is all the stuff that goes in to make a good player..A good command element and a good game.. it's far far more than just guns and gear and the "bad guys are over there"

A lot of players just run around looking for a fight.. and often find it .. with their own side.

The actual venue where the game happens is not by far the most important element of a solid event. the venue is just the canvas, it's up to the game designer, and commanders to put the paint on it, and refine the details.

Personally, I prefer a straight up woodland field, it's a broad canvas onto which practically anything may be put.
