Default Re: Dealing with the Infantry Peril

Just did a quick and dirty check

Your support toys (tanks and arty) are worth about 1500 points (and if core will be worth more as the war progresses) - which relates to about 6 (six) KMT rifle coys at 256 points a pop (tested in in 1939). 2 battalions worth!.

And you have but 2 rifle coys on map...

You could have bought about 4 Type A rifle coys (with added MG and mortar section) for the exact same points expenditure. Four Japanese rifle companies(+) would deal with the 6 KMT ones with no great bother at all, methinks.

Default Re: Dealing with the Infantry Peril

You have plenty of good points and advice. Going with only 2 Infantry companies is a preference; I don't usually like to play with larger forces than that. I usually play with just a company and an assortment of different supporting Platoons (usually strong artillery support), but as I said; that just what I prefer.

I come up with about 900 points for my support, but I get your point, it's to much. A KMT Infantry Company is 228 points, so my support is worth roughly 4 (!) Companies of KMT Infantry.

Thanks for the heads up, didn't really think it through much from the beginning, but I've learned something new. It's just because of my preference while playing battles, I usually don't spend all the points on troops (but I did this time).
