UK and Dominions under represented
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 4:13 pm
Just a small comment from me on the relative OOB's of the UK and Indian forces.
Given the presumption of no war in Europe I would expect the balance between Indian and UK forces to be different.
Also Canadian and South African.
I would expect 1 SA Div to be available probably in Australia plus perhaps a Rhodesian Cav Bde (Bring on the Capetown Highlanders !!!!) possibly another NZ Div and a couple of UK Divs but at the expense of Indian forces/ African Divs plus possibly a Canadian Div.
i.e. would the British Empire in the 20's really have armed West Africans or non military caste Indians this wouldnt be a total war for the UK I would expect (especially given a reduced Irish committment) more UK and Dominion forces
I am not arguing for more allied Ground Forces but a redistribution between Indian/ US/ African and UK and Dominion forces
i.e. 44th Indian Div should be renamed or removed.
Given the great expansion of Indian military force does not occur do they really deserve 80 squads replacement and yet UK at 25 is perhaps now to low given no European War?
I just feel that some of the WITP standard names should be withdrawn and renamed.
p.s. I REALLY like the individual Inf Bns and would quite like a few more RM Bn's as reinforcements for British spearheads.
I love the game Tanker my only point is can we have a little less standard WITP cut and paste stuff.
I would suggest changing some of the Indian Corps to British Corps HQ's
Lose 2 or 3 Indian Divs and the African Divs and perhaps several of the US Divs and replace them with
1 x Canadian Div
1 x South African Div
1 x NZ Div (Major General Freyburg Commanding !!!!)
1 x Rhodesian Bde or Cav Bde (Selous Scouts !!!!)
and a couple of British Inf Divs. (Brig Gen Auchinleck/ Montgomery/ Horrocks/ Leese etc commanding !!!!)
Plus perhaps 3 or 4 more Marine Bns.
Just my thoughts
