So, what ARE the chances for increased number of units per force above the current limit of 2000?[&:]
Rounded, they are between .01 and 1, but the answer that is of most importance is whether it comes about in TOAW III, or TOAW IV.

And that one, I'm keeping under my hat for the moment...[;)]

You mean modeled as a unit? [X(] It might be possible, but you'd still need some house rules around it.


Or sparrows--but then it would be a question of african or european sparrows--then it would become a matter of weight ratios.......................[:D][:D]

Ok, I've got to ask. Is there an OAOW IV really in the future.

BTW, my original question was for not only greater than the 2,000 units but also greater than the 400 formations. I am trying to modify Stéphane's wonderful "Vietnam Combat Operations" (with his permission) to be a game covering the length of the war. There are a number of roadblocks but particularly the number of formations is difficult to work around because of the way OAOW III works.

..WE don't do sparrows, not when considering the communication time between Sussex and Yorkshire..

..and allowing for the synapse-gap lag-time of Southeners....

Since this thread has gotten WAAAAAY off topic, I gotta ask White Rabbit...

What's in Moro Gulf, SW of Mindanao (6N 128E)?

And hill-top bonfires apparently were able to notify all of New Zealand of the attack on Gondor!  Nice duty, that, sitting in the snow with a bonfire you dare not light...

I'm not quite sure how to react to that, so I'll take it in stride and laugh. [:D]
And say that my Geography is pretty good.
To repeat history in a game is to be predictable.

Who's going to be first to do a battalion scale East Front scenario?

Nervous Breakdown im Osten

Reminds me of a 'very old' article in a SPI magazine : World War Two at 1:1 scale (board-game) "...Comes in three railroad box-cars, estimated playing time, 20 years..."
