Re: Stryker platoon

Now...this is something I wanted to "fix" as well the old LMC Spt 04 H formation had a Stryker, an 81 mm mortar and 2 120mm M1129's. The problem with that for the game is the 81 mm mortars will not...

Re: Stryker platoon

I think giving the CG teams a lower rating makes sense. The Javeline CLU is an incredible piece of equipment with powerful optics. It's used all the time for recon and observation, not just for...

Re: Stryker platoon

Don, are you asking about launchers (or CLUs)? In that case the answer is two. In a fully manned US Stryker or light infantry Weapons Squad you will have 2x 2-man M-240B mg teams and 2x two-man...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

Was thinking about this issue the other day, and an idea for a series of scenarios or a campaign popped into my mind. Here's what I was thinking:

Russia has invaded and occupied the Baltic States...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

I agree. Lots of scenario options for both sides. Grant1pa's and SaS TrooP's are great. I'm really interested in the possibilities of a NATO counteroffensive into to wither liberate the occupied...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

The Russians have two reasons for caring about the Baltics:

1. The first is defensive. Think about this from the Russian perspective: 70 years ago a coalition of western/Central European states...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

I actually think NATO would respond strongly, though it would take time. Right now the Russians can overrun the Baltic States, though that is more difficult now with the heavy multi-national...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

This is still how it is, in the Army as well. Operation orders can get voluminous, but in the end you get a mission and a commander's intent from higher, and you have great freedom in how you execute...

Re: Battered Bastards

Exactly where did they find the money to do that?.[/QUOTE]

Probably from cancelling modernization programs like Future Combat System and Ground Combat Vehicle.

Re: Battered Bastards

Just my opinion, but I like your filtering of the ATGMs. Helps to simulate the teams being focused on their platoon's engagement area, as it would be in real life.

Re: Battered Bastards

The Army is actually in the process of replacing all of its OH-58Ds with AH-64Es. Lots of "last flight" videos out there as the aviation brigades give up their Kiowas.

Re: Bending WinSPMBTs rules

Could it be used to model a small UAV like a Raven: (http://www.avinc.com/uas/small_uas/raven)

Re: Drone tanks

Thanks for the info on the crew size. I hadn't looked at the UAVs (or IEDs for that matter) already modeled.

I guess my question is if there is a way to prevent the unit from becoming suppressed...
