QB: Random Forces less than Requested

[Wojorider]

Me and Cueball were setting up an Operation, We used the random force from a QB [went to setup phase, wrote down all forces shown for our side] for the Initial Setup, then picked the reinforcements.

While entering the forces we both noticed the forces added up to only about 1750 instead of the 2000 chosen. Any ideas why?

Hi.....if one is a defender and one is an attacker, the attacker gets some extra jing to spend because of the great advantage of prepared defense...sounds like that's it

...i think i tried attack/def...takin Germans defenders gave me 1500 (that's what i requested)..same set up taking Americans gave me 2000 as the attacker

No this was setup as a meeting engagement. Each side was set for 2000 points. Random Forces. Each side ended up about 15% short of the 2000 goal.

Were the troops the same experience level?

Yes the troops were the same experience level.

Since a random experience level results in all the men being the same level Green or Elite [Wish it didn't do that] we selected regular and then recorded the exp level of each troop as well as what kind of unit. This would give us a random starting force for the Operations Map.

I think it would be a nice feature if after having the computer select your forces it listed the points spent. And if not to your liking have the computer reselect your forces until it spends enough points.
