manchildstein (ii) Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 some units hystorically had a shortage of cadre - officers and ncos. since it isn't possible to purchase hq-less squads in cmbb, there must be some way to work around this. a few ideas are: 1) purchase companies and build the default setup positions for the squads around the company hq units; place the 'excess' platoon hq units at the back of the mapboard and in the briefing tell the player to move these off of the friendly edge one turn 1. 2) use say, 1 sturmkompanie to represent 2 depleted regular companies; this would depict enlisted casualties as well but the ratio of personnel in squads to hq units also depicts a shortage of cadre. 3) adjust the company hq and battalion hq units to have better leadership characteristics - morale, combat, stealth, and command - than the platoon hqs. 4) add in a lot of support units, particularly HMG, LMG, tank hunters, and sharpshooters.

demoss Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 If you set most/all HQ bonuses to zero, it's probably close enough for most purposes. Doug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
