Split WP Co. into platoons
Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2022 9:37 pm
I am wondering if it is possible to see some of the WP mainline units be put on the map as platoons.
The co. size Mot Inf and Tanks units carry a lot of punch but they are too cumbersome, too easy to get spotted. Especially during a WP defend scenario, when you need small size units to setup ambush or delay action, but all you have is a dug in BTR infantry co. that can be spotted 2000m away.
I guess we have two approachs here
1, leave this to scenario designer. in a WP defense scenario , put most of WP units as platoon on the map, keep some units as Co. (assuming they will carry out counter attack task)
2, add a mechanism to allow player to split or combine during the game. Of course some penalty are needed. For example a Mot Inf Co. can be split into Plt A, B, C. Company commander is attached with Plt A. Plt B and C are subordinated under Plt A. They cannot change to a different command. Plt A's command range is only 5hex, etc.
