Cavalry tends to have lower ammo loadouts, keep that in mind. As always, a balance of units is really the best. You may find that you prefer to have 1 rifle squad, 3 SMG squads, 1 Engineer squad, and 1 MG unit in each of your Platoons.

<r>Those are great suggestions, <B><s>[b]</s>Grimm<e>[/b]</e></B>! I've recently started playing with C&C on. Crews being "recon"-classed shouldn't make them "cheap infantry" due to the fact that they only have one weapon in slot two--not as many weapons as there are men in the squad in slot 1 as ...

Cool; I never was sure whether the "AA" was to be taken as a Russian abbreviation, or Anti-Aircraft.

They look like the same thing... maybe I just got an old or regional translation. ?_? But agreed regardless on all counts.

<r>Here they are. I checked ChiComs and Nat'list China. Didn't check every last arty piece for every last detail, but this should be pretty extensive. Also found things about related OOB's as I searched.<br/>

Go/Igo... been a long time since I played that. Can't say it's my favourite wargame, though--a weeeeee bit too abstract to me for that.

<t>Got some errors in the Chinese OOB's, and some potential ones. Are foreign equipment supposed to have the same ratings? EG, a captured Japanese tank; should that have the same ratings in both OOB's? How about TMG vs. BMG--if it's the same weapon in a different slot, shouldn't it have the same PEN ...

<t>Of course, you can always just allocate yourself more points to begin with and select the 40 units you really want to start with instead of 10 good, 30 cheap. Up to you.<br/>

As the Japanese, I always upgraded at least 1 platoon of infantry with Type 100 SMG's... and usually it was just 1 ...

<r>In about a half-dozen other threads like this, I've posted a workable German entry-level force that is around 1500 points and 70 units. That keeps the size down (which keeps the enemy's size down), gives you a little of everything, and few enough units that you might finish Long WWII before you ...

LMG's and MMG's, even in squad situations, appear to have some inherent pen-values. Sometimes they're listed, sometimes not. Oddly enough, sometimes ATR squads don't have their pen listed either.

The OOB set was v.7.1. The encounter happened at range 1 (1 hex away), was a front hull hit, not bottom, not even a Vulnerable Location! I remember once before, my Japanese infantry squads' rifles took out a few Russian BT-tanks.

My Engineers took out a 7-TP with a front-hull hit. 17mm armor. It wasn't grenades. It wasn't flamethrower. It wasn't satchel charge. It wasn't MG42. It wasn't even a close-assault. It was the MP-38/40 at range 1.

Oooh, very cool!

Unfortunately, my Deutsche is a little rusty... but, working at a bookstore, I can order in the suggested reading above.

Not that I'd cry if anyone else had any info.

Hi R@lph. You're among friends. We help each other with our addiction. I used to deny it too, but now I can face the truth:

I'm Iri, and I'm a WAWaholic.
