TI what is it good for?

If you want taks and TI and a nice fight try for example germany vs. UK in 1980->2020 range. Although somewhat ahistorical (who cares..?), countries are pretty evenly matched and both have lot of high-tech equipment and good tanks against each other. If TI bothers you, try some latin american or african countries and before 1990.

Not "ahistorical" since the NATO forces (and others) played exercises against each other. Just think of the casualties as being adjudicated by the umpires (DS staff, white hats) and/or MILES type laser gear.

I can recall being chased across Salisbury Plain by some "enemy" chieftains (with a DS staff landy following), when we were returning from a bn O group. They were heading into a hide area for one of our platoons, this resulted in Jocks popping up all over the place and indicating their presence, so as not to be run over!. 1/51 were on one side, the UK School of Armour cadre and some West German territorial paras were in the OPFOR. "A" company (us) inherited a lone ferret scout car we found out on weekend exercise from some TA Yeomanry unit. (Ferret scout car capacity, one officer cadet liaison orificer (moi), perched on the back deck, which was nice and warm on a cold night!). And I remember when the Germans were dropped, the exercise being temporarily put on hold with several "no duff" radio calls over the net for the medics to go deal with casualty calls on the paras..

Cheers

Ty DRG, Mobhack, Marek for the quick response, I usually don't get this level of service even If I had to pay for it! I look foward to using Yugo vs Yugo on an "exercise" in the 1960's with heavy armour contrensation. Also I will give 183 a look. I suppose with a sad heart this thread is at an end unless anyone else has some comments on TI.

Again thanks!

1st Question: Yes. Nothing quite like brewing up a whole load of Soviet or Warsaw Pact tanks. That will teach them to cross the border without a permit.

2nd Question: Positively. Of course the side with TI is going to have an advantage that is what it is for. It also costs a pretty penny.

3rd Question: Hmm... Yes and? I play the scenarios from time to time but it has to be said I am busy moding things and testing changes.

Another fun scenario is US Army VS US Marines "War Games".

If you model your forces accurately the Army basically can't defeat the USMC when attacking them, but the Marines get totally creamed attacking the Army.
