I was trying to create a "Bloody Sunday" scenario when I found out that the various flavours of stone throwers all cause too many casualties to allow the Paras to have "Weapons Off".
I intented to have the 'Paras to advance vs Civs, Hostile Crowds ...eventually Mobs.
These were bought as 'captured' units from Somalia and PLO Sept 2005.
I assumed tht the 'Crowd-thrown Stone' was not improved by time.
(Pass me that 2007 rock, I'll kill that tank for sure!...?)
My original idea was to give the Paras "All weapons OFF" and try to advance vs pistol fire in the crowd and snipers (bad snipers) at a distance. Get the Objectives without "Civilian" damage ( and of course take out the actual "Hostile" units. ) ie take objectves without killing crowd.
The UK 'Paras were bought off-the-shelf as a platoon
All of the crowd were stone throwers.
(No innocent bystanders)
Can anyone give me a hint\help?
Why are 'Stone Throwers' so effective?
Stone-throwing Mobs/Crowds etc
