Default Re: Riflemen have too much ammo

If each infantryman gets 5 shots per turn on his rifle, let's assume that each HE unit represents 1/5th of what an infantrymen fires in one turn (3 minutes). Maybe a 3-round burst. 80 ammo points equals 400 rounds per rifle, so I guess you might be right about Western troops that fire ammo conservatively and have plenty of resupply. But this does not hold true for third world (such as Soviet) troops, which typically offload whole magazines on full automatic, and are trained to dismount from their vehicle and charge toward the enemy positions. Not only would they run out of ammo quickly, but they wouldn't return to their APC to rearm. So these troops would have serious problems with ammo supply.

As for playability, I don't know what you guys think, but I like realism above all else.
