Yes the OoB is final, its listed in the Orders above and is the same as when we ran this last June.

 

The manning isn't.

 

As I've written a few times already (is reading really such an overrated skill) we will distribute the manning depending on:

 

1. Who actually turns up.

 

2. Which CT is in contact. You are likely to be controlling a vehicle section / platoon and moving from one CT to another as the battle develops. The lead CT will be manned the most, the 2nd a little less and the depth one will be primarily controlled by me (until the lead CT is attrited).

 

I'm not too worried about a Tank to Mech imbalance as there are twice as many Leo platoons to Marder ones.

We had 15 people turn up from across the globe and participate.

As expected it was a bloody affair. We were able to blunt the Soviet spear but at great cost.

I hated those Hinds.  Must have been about ten of them in all.  Wish we had some SAM teams or something better.  Tough mission, but fun playing.  I want to play this on my own, but the password prevents me from cutting out those Hinds.  Heheh.  I'll just have to deal with 'em.  In any case, we destroyed a good supply of the early entry numbers of T-90s.  Should be a bit easier from here on against T-80s and T-72s.

Glad you enjoyed it.

 

Attack helos are just part of what Red gets - along with buckets of artillery.

 

The air defence was busy guarding the river crossings and unfortunately fighting units usually have to fend for themselves.
