  1. Germanboy you have a good point,IIRC that is the way the Germans operated and I know thats the way the Americans and the British operated at platoon level,but I don't know about the French,Polish and other allied Armies,and to further confuse things I believe the Russians didn't do things that way in that NCO's in the Red Army were nothing more than mouthpieces for the officers.

    Maj Bosco: I didn't mean for the RTO's and runners to be modeled separately,they were be included with the HQ unit. i.e. PLT LDR would be 1 guy representing 2 people. smile.gif

  2. I think if at least at the platoon level the officer was killed off the platoon sergeant would take over,this could be portrayed graphically by having 2 HQ elements, 1 being the PLT LDR and his radioman the other being the PLT SGT and his runner,at company and battalion level it could be the CO and his RTO and the XO and his RTO. This would also allow you to simulate different members of the chain of command taking charge of smaller portions of the battle,such as the PLT LDR moving up with his attack element and the PLT SGT staying with the base of fire element in a platoon level assault.

  3. I was playing the "A Day in the Cavalry" op, one of my Greyhounds had been taken out by a Panzerschreck team,so the single surviving crewman goes after the Schreck,offs them and is wasted by an MG-42 hidden in the woods nearby.Talk about heroic deaths! biggrin.gif

  4. I know this isn't a WW 1 topic,but Col Deadmarsh,Pillar I was an infantryman in the Gulf and my M16 didn't have a lock button on it and the Iraqis did fight at Medina Ridge, not well but that was because the Air Force and our Arty blew the bejesus out of their C&C but they fought hard. It was our training and equitment that won the day,not the Iraqis inferiority. This post isn't intended as a flame or to start any kind of fight,but as a vet I felt it had to be said.
