what mix of forces do you use in PBEM?

[Cavalry_Scout]

Agree that the mix depends on the players. Some are hardcore realists, others want to use misc. systems and units, some like to experiment.

There are the acts of a scoundrel however!!

Buying a battalion of snipers would certainly qualify!!

I did once play an opponent who demanded that SAM's and AAA be severly restricted, then he flooded the battlefield with airmobile infantry. What a rat!!

Seems that some people favor restrictions on weapons that they have not learned to deal with.

I personally don't really care what an opponent purchases; most of the time it is a learning experience anyway.

Helo gunships are deadly in the later years. One has to use terrain in movement, and not neglect air defense.

But infra-red vision is also nasty when one is one the receiving end.

Don't quite agree with Mobhack's denial of special forces in PBEM, within reason, airborne in meeting engagements, and rather strict limitations on engineers.

Though again, If I use the above, I don't mind if they are used against me.
