Re: 1st Cav, 1969-71 Operations
Stephane (or anyone else who is interested),
Could you please make a selection of 10 historical battles/operations of the 1st CAV division in order to form the historical ToOs?
If you could add some description/location and little info for each battle/operation it would be great!
I hope next week we could make an early selection of the historical battles/operations for the campaign and then we may use this selection as the backbone of the campaign.
Then we will add other fictional battle in between and we should start the designing of the appropriate chapters.
In each ToO, we will include 1-3 Historical chapters (probably connected) and a couple of fictional chapters for mission diversity.
So,
1. First we choose the Historical battles/operations and this way we define the campaign ToOs.
2. We design/define the historical chapters (inside the ToOs) and we try to add a couple (or more) fictional chapters in a novel type of history (we have to respect campaign connectivity)
3 Then, we should describe exactly the type of mission in each chapter.
4. Then, according to the number of ToOs and the nature of historical chapters we should decide the evolution of the core force (very difficult and critical activity).
As a general rule you should respect that the early missions should be design for a light core force, while the late missions should be designed for a quite big core force.
Of course we may achieve equilibrium and balance in the early missions by adding AUX friendly units.
Critical activity
But for the moment we should focus on the formation of the ToOs and then in the writing of exciting campaign scenery with a lot of "up and down".
Cheers,
Pyros
p.s I think you may find in the 1st CAV DIV thread a lot of historical info for the dates and types of battles/missions.
