Re: 32 Battalion SADF

Orbats are not really my thing unless I happen to come across one in my reading.

32 Battalion's changed a lot over the years but ended up at a battalion HQ, seven rifle companies, one recce...

Re: The Tank is dead

Like other Western nations UK has Special Forces operating in the Middle East, rather than infantry, as well as air forces.

UK plays a major role in NATO, although for my money I hope that does...

Re: The Tank is dead

Desert Warrior mounts a different turret with a 25mm gun. The British Army is upgrading to Warrior 2000 with a good 40mm gun, granted if it was affordable and could be fitted on Warrior 2000 Tow...

Re: The Tank is dead

It really comes down to - "Are they APCs or IFVs?"

If you try to make every vehicle an IFV of course you're going to have mass and firepower issues. The only time the USMC had an IFV was late WW...

Re: The Next World War

Firstly, as the gentleman at the top say, this is a game, not a simulation. Wargames suffer from this view thing, this game perhaps less than many others.

Secondly, since at least the early 1980's...

Re: The Tank is dead

Agree with everything you say. Two things I have heard current British Army types most wanting (besides a pay raise) is some sort of area SAM and some sort of ATGM under armour to support Warrior,...

Re: The Next World War

It is not traditional EW jamming as such. The trick is a hack into the network, not jam it.

In 2009 the US established a cyber command, we already have EW schools in the services, so why a cyber...

I strongly suspect Suhiir is right about this stuff.

Electronic warfare is hardly new and, like all things in war, the advantage goes back and forward between defence and offense. There is a big...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

One reason I was trying to avoid using the term 'peer'. We were using it it in game terms, for a well equipped battle group.

Obviously Strategic lift (air or sea) does not really fit into the game...

Maybe it is just me, but I fail to see the real advantages Armata offers the Russians, taking account of relative costs over late T90's? Given the Russians are not flush with cash, will it ever...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

When I talk about 'Western Forces' most of the time I mean US/British/Old Commonwealth (ie, Canada, Australia and New Zealand). The Anglosphere, if you like.

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

I generally try to avoid as much military jargon as possible on here myself. Not sure it makes anything much clearer either, as, just to take your example, using the USA as a base I would probably...

Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies

In a COIN scenario that is a planned operation, say clearing a village, I think it would be fair to have the Western assets on call at the outset.

Also bear in mind these days you are likely to...

Re: MBT's

In the British Army Challanger 2 MBT's carry 2 x 5 smoke grenade launchers and Warrior IFV's, at the moment, 2 x 4 smoke grenade launchers. The new Ajax scout carries 2 x 8.

Re: 32 Battalion SADF

Re: 32 Battalion SADF
