<t> Since I have been working on Mayhem on the Meuse, I decided to have some fun with British vehicles.<br/>
<br/>
I have straightened out the Humber series to my liking, so that there is a Humber Scout Car Mk II, Humber Armored Car Mk. IV, Humber Light Recon Car MkIIIA, and the Humber FWD Heavy ...

Using your artillery that way is pretty much what the Allies liked to do. They trained for it, organized for it.

<t> Ran into this old thread while researching the (apparently) missing battalion carrier platoon.<br/>

Nice to see so many people referring to the pertinent manuals. If I remember correctly, the company shoot and the beaten zone were all leftovers from WWI.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, makes more ...

4th Armored has a much better chance of relieving Bastogne if you add the 253rd and 274th AFA, 177th and 776th 155H, 559th and 561st 155G, and 578th 8H. <br/>

<t> So now I am working on Widening the Corridor. It builds on research I have already done on other Bastogne scenarios. But the USA 35th Infantry Division is a new unit to me. I start from the top down -- who's on first if you are a baseball fan. <br/>

Have played a lot NATO/Warsaw Pact type games over the years. SPI had some great games on the central front and the kitty just loved to move the chits about after they were all stacked up. =Then there was the first ...

And then it came to me.

Slowly, slowly...

There is nothing stopping me from adding a saddle horse to the vehicle list.

Is this a great game, or what? [:D]

Re Infantry value. First off it should never be greater than the number of personnel. If it is, then that is definely a mistake. Basically the rule I work on is not quite "bayonet strength ...

Central Blue, what I am doing for LOTB is determine the actual fighters in a unit, and that becomes the Infantry Value, regardless of how many troops are in a unit. For example: A German Infantry Platoon with 36 men has an Infantry value of 30 ...

<t> yes, I searched on infantry value. Apologies if this has been answered before. I just couldn't find it.<br/>
<br/>
The manual says something that it is basically bayonet strength.<br/>

Ok. Let's look at the US Rifle company TOE circa February 1944 for which I have a variety of sources ...

<t> I don't see any defined in the vehicles list of the estab.<br/>

Is that because the type "construction-vehicle" isn't implemented or working correctly yet? Or is it that no one has got around to it?<br/>

I'm hoping I can get an answer that doesn't involve algebra, trigonometry ...

The standard is normally 50% casualties in xx minutes/rounds per hectare. We have a probability per round over the beaten area. As far as I can tell that requires a lower radius in order to not exaggerate the cumulative effect. My indicators ...

<t> OK. I am starting to find sources like Field Manual 6-40. Their standard is a man in the open has a 50% chance of becoming a casualty. I'm guessing the game numbers are something rather more like absolute metaphysical certainty the man will be dead. <br/>
