Does foot infantry gets tired after a long march?

SPWaW is a tactical squad-level World War II game on single platoon or up to an entire battalion through Europe and the Pacific (1939 to 1945).

I did. In fact, I tried to avoid long marches whenever possible.
Retreat is NOT an option.

What I think Remf meant is yes, he got tired in reality after a long march. So did I. Nothing like fifty kays or more in full kit to make you tired.

But there's no troop weariness factor in the game. AOR had it, but there's not one in any of the SP games. Maybe in Combat Leader.

That’s right. Infantry doesn’t get tired on the game. See the other post with the same subject (I post it twice by a mistake) where Paul Veber answers my question.

Ciao Nicola,
well, I vote for weariness against Command and control.. :D
Oh poor infantry...since SP1's freedom and power you seem sieged by pain and sorrow now...
Thus I think weariness is good idea believe me ,one more step toward SPWAW's reality,..,but remember how much actual shot&move rules and C&C constraint our men ! :D :D
Let them know this and order to them to MARCH MARCH AND MARCH !

I served the army for two years under conscription.

I was with the support section, carrying a GPMG - General Purpose MG or M60. Fast march for 20 KM, I am exhausted. :p

Push me to the floor, I can even get up on my own.

God, ten years out of the army and my back and feet get tired just thinking about it...

Why make our poor cyber-comrades suffer? Already bad enough having to deal with my suicide orders :D

So true. The only thing that saved my GI's from total annihilation today against the Germans was a well placed .50 cal HMG :D

I like to think that my troops are too enthusiastic to get tired.

Is this not why the M113 APC, is often called the "battlefield taxi". It just drives along and the infantry can just "hitch" a ride, like flagging down a taxi cab!! This way the infantry doesn't get tired on long road marches!!

Talk about M113 APC, it sucks.

I travelled in that during my army days, it is cramp and when filled with troops it stink.

But overall at least I am protected from small arms fire. But sometime we are told that it is also called a metal coffin. The side armour can be penetrated by a .50 and the rear, a GPMG can do it. Sometime I really like the ideal of Isreal Mervaka. The MBT carrying u. ;)

Or tanks like the British Warrior or the German Marder (has the Bradley a passenger compartment too?) :) Better protection and more punch with 20mm BMK and coax 7.62mm MG :O, and some TOW/HOT or Milan with it too ..

Yep, M2 Bradley carries 4 passengers I think.
M3 is the cavalry version, I don't think it carries passengers.

M2 Bradley can carry 7-8, the cavlry/scout version the M3 carries 4, and I think more TOW missiles.
