British Light Infantry Batallion

[tagge]

Any use for TOE's like these? I've made some for my own use but I thought someone else could have use for these. Should print out nice at A4-size. Better quality 4 page pdf's also available...

[Dietrich]

Looks real good, tagge! I, for one, would very much appreciate being able to see the particular loadout for any given subunit of a certain formation at a glance. =)

[lomir]

Very nicely done, tagge!! I would say that kind of TOEs at a glance are very useful for designing scenarios - I find very annoying that you can't scroll down in the units editor, you know. Do you intend to upload them in the Repository?

[Alex]

VERY GOOD WORK! And very useful.

Right on! Thats exactly why I made a bunch of these. And mainly British and Syrian forces because I feel that they are more balanced PBEM-wise and PBEM is more or less all I play these days.

Thanks and spasiba for the nice feedback. I'll post the rest of the Syrian and British TOE when I sober up...

[Frankster65]

Beautiful work sir!

[Alek]

Question abaut AT - strength at "easy" and "soft" troops in the British army

Syrian have BRDM-2 AT-3/AT-5 in the strengthening

US Army have Hammers TOW-2 and Stryker TOW-2 in its TOE

That British - except Javelin on WIMIK have

anyone powerful mobile AT-reservs?

[lomir]

No, Alek. British Light Infantry currently fields the Javelin for its AT purposes - and it's pretty good at it, I would say. In fact, the Javelin is replacing the older MILAN and Swingfire systems in the British Army since 2005. For ranges greater than 2000-2500 m., they rely on the heavier forces' Challenger 2 MBT or they may call for air support from the attack helicopters and the RAF aircrafts.

[Erwin]

Thanks for the useful charts!

(PS: battalion has two "t's" and one "l.")

[SKELLEN]

Unless I'm mistaken as far as I'm aware there is no Light Infantry Battalion in existence in the British Army right now. 'The Rifles' are now the premier Infantry replacement, my father served with the 'The Light Infantry' in fact.

Very nice work!

Best regards,

Skellen,

How are you defining Light Infantry?

[SKELLEN]

'The Light Infantry' was an Infantry Regiment and part of the Light Division and in 2005 the M.O.D in all there wisdom decided the 'The Light Infantry' battalions would no longer bear this name and amalgamate to become one large regiment 'The Rifles'.

[Jonny(FGM)]

I think the name given in CMSF is referring to the doctrinal role the battalion fulfills rather than any battalion/regimental name

[flamingknives]

Yup.

There are three types of infantry battalions in CM:SF:

Light

Mechanised

Armoured

In real life, you also have:

Parachute

Royal Marines

Air Assault (although this is very similar to light infantry in terms of organisation and equipment)

For regiment names, you have Guards, Fusiliers, Rifles, various regional units and the Paras.

[Jonny(FGM)]

Not forgetting the SAS special forces in this game would be ace

[SKELLEN]

Oh yeah bring on the super army soldiers, I'm sure that will be worth playing against a formidable foe as the Syrians.

[Jonny(FGM)]

Yeah but you could do Battle of Qala-i-Jangi style stuff
