Re: Acceptable US Casualties Against 3rd World Armies
Logistics......... I had intended to (mis)quote Nathan Bedford Forrest's "git thar fustest with the mostest." to illustrate the point but that sent me down the google rabbit hole of information and I'll derail this thread a bit
He was one of the few officers in either army to enlist as a private and be promoted to general officer and corps commander during the war but as far as " rises to the top " goes it's hard to beat this....
Enlisted as Private July 1861. (White's Company "E", Tennessee Mounted Rifles)
Commissioned as Lieutenant Colonel, October 1861 (3rd Tennessee Cavalry)
3 months from Private to Lieutenant Colonel is quite a feat
But on the thread topic I think forcing a quick outcome only benifits the "low tech" side so allowing more time to bring all the support required to cut down casualties would help balance the high cost of first world units ....and best caution the player to not rush things
