Very nice idea but very stupid, useless detailed, OOB that definitely "not fit", pretty hard to control and kills scenario itself. (Small units TOE is not good too - where is mortars, engineers, recons, heavy infantry weapons, etc?) I need to explain, that administrative TOE that is not like units and armies actually fights, both east and west. All armies for last 70 years prefers to form some combined arms kampfgruppes for german, Task Forces for NATO, and tactical\artillery groups for soviets. Soviets and russians are forming company\bn\regimental\brigade tactical groups based on appropriative formations and names it RTG(rotnaya takticheskaya gruppa, BTG (batalionnaya takticheskaya gruppa), PTG (polkovaya takticheskaya gruppa), BrTG (brigadnaya takticheskaya gruppa). Same idea for arty - there are regimental, divisional, corps, army, front artillery groups. This groups is something like general support artillery groups in NATO therms. So in fact to model some formation, like division, you dont need to create 12-15 units uncontrolable monster. Just 3-4 task forces based on line mech\tanks units, recon unit and arty unit. Thats all. 6 units vs 15! In fact you dont need so much HQs too. If we are talking about BN scale scenario it is not good to make rgt\bde HQ, and HQ will start only from div or corps level. Let ai units commanders to place they HQ at they own. "Make it fit!" (c) Original TOAW manual. Please note that TOAW is game from late 90's with some time very stupid and not pleasure interface, so scenario designer must use special measures to not overload they players more and more. Especially in case of very big, long and detailed scenarios. But please dont consider this gamers (and oob\toe designer) long time pains and criticism to your scenario idea and personally to you. No. I definitely likes your idea, it is very actual, and i respect you bravery to dream and express your feels and thoughts in this manner. So if one of our arts and creative weapons is TOAW, so let it be. Thx for your time and energy that you put in this scenario. [;)]
