Barleyman Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I have been wondering about this one. Russkie green troops equal kraut conscripts, right. But what do Russkie conscripts equal? Even worse than green heroes of worker's and farmers? Is it worthwhile buying green troops or only regular and better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Phosphorus Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 It only counts for command delays (lack of radios, experienced officers). Morale, accuracy, and other stuff is the same for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameroon Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 White Phosphorus is right about the Soviet forces, only the command delay acts as one exp. level lower. Morever, this is only for the early part of the war. I can't tell you what the cutoff date is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Cameroon, Does this 'command delay only' thing apply just to Soviet conscripts? IOW, would an early war Soviet regular only differ from a German regular by command delay too? Oh, and how did you ever figure that out? Treeburst155 out.

MikeyD Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I think White Phos is correct. This may be BFC's attempt to model the aftermath of Stalin's purges of the officer class before the war started. Early-war all the good officers were either dead or in Gulag. Later on competent officers started to remerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 out.In the back of the manual, try the section called Ostfront, it is the primer for CMBO vets as to what has changed. It really should be in the front of the manual IMHO, esp. since much of the manual was lifted verbatim from CMBO, and it was silly to waste time scouring thru it before I found about the Ostfront section. So for command delays only, Soviet greens and conscripts act like they are 1 exp.level lower, until maybe early '42? can't recall. maybe its not until 44?

Barleyman Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Originally posted by Cameroon: Page 216-217, until Jan. 1944 all Soviet troops have a command delay penalty quivalent to 1 experience level lower. So regulars have a command delay like greens, greens like conscript and so on. Hope that lays everything to rest Well. Yeah. Except what kind of command delay conscripts get? Same as green?
