Re: A few questions
While these incidents happened, in general, US Army training before D-Day made for better troops overall. Elite troops can break even, given the right situation. For general gaming purposes this "training" is and should be reflected in the game.
No matter the training and or leadership, it can all breakdown. We are after all dealing with human nature not machines. NCO's being fed up with officers especially incompetent ones is nothing new. Just as the problem with the 90th Inf Div may have started with just one platoon or section breaking and without effective leadership to stem the tide it became a Division wide problem. Also you should also consider that river crossing even under prime conditions can be especially troublesome. I could likely simulate, this crossing and get similar results.
Prosit!
