ShooterSix Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hello, After reading the manual, it gives a brief overview of the conflict, and mentions a few times how both sides are shocked over such high losses. What are high losses in this conflict? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, more? What about equipment losses? Dozens of tanks on each side, hundreds? This interests me, and helps me role play my commander if I knew more of the context in which I am fighting. Any thoughts would be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUCASWILLEN05 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Probably something comprable to he Yom Kippur War. Assuming a Ukrainian slugging match I would guess NATO likely lose 10 - 15000 dead, wounded or POW(including Ukranian losses/0. Russia between 15000 and 25000. Lightly wounded men are likely to be patched up pretty quickly and bacjk in combat in a week or two. Seriously wouded are likely going to be out of the war for some time at least. Tank/IFV losses losses will likely be several hundred on both sides. Although of course many kncke out vehicles are not writeoffs. As you may notice, in this game mny vehiclesare simply knocked out or are desroyed but don't burn. These will be repairable and back in combat within a few days. Those vehicles hat burn are almost certainly writeoffs or will have to be returned to the factory for repair . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You may recall CMSF NATO module. Those battles were super-tough because there was a high points penalty for losing too many Blue side troops. You gain your objective but suffer 30% casualties in the process and you've lost the battle. I don't recall reading what the casualty threshold for CMBS campaigns are. If it was especially onerous it would probably be mentioned in the orders. I think they're expecting this fictional war to be high-cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antaress73 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Similar to WWII ..even then . the size of the armies made things much worse. Modern armies are much smaller even compared to the cold war.. That would have been an horrific carnage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterSix Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yikes, Quite a lot of casualties in 3 months. Makes you wonder what a conventional war would have done in 85 if the Soviets decided to rush through Fulda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
