Bog Posted February 24, 2001 Share Posted February 24, 2001 When a squad is a particular skill level, is that just the average of all the soldiers in the squad? It would not be realistic to have EVERY soldier be exactly the same skill level, as some squads, especially German ones, were patched together with combat veterans and raw recruits. If so, does this affect weapons firepower. For example, could the BAR gunner in a inf. squad be significantly more experienced than his mates and have a higher firepower.

Aside from what weapons are still present in the squad, CM doesn't track individual soldiers. The firepower rating in any given fight/shot is a composite of the firepowers of all the remaining weapons. There would be something of a performance hit to model in greater detail (especially for those who play reinforced battalion sized battles and larger), and for the scope of the game the individual soldiers aren't that relevant--they're all abstracted into a squad. ------------------ "If you can taste the difference between caviar on a cracker and ketchup on a Kit-Kat while blindfolded, you have not had enough aquavit to be ready for lutefisk."
