tarzanofmars -> Basic explanation of unit sizes and relations with strength/supply (12/13/2017 12:36:00 AM)
|
So I have some questions that are kind of difficult to describe. I couldn't find a detailed explanation of what constitutes a squad/platoon as far as strength and numbers of actual men.
Example I'm making an Indian Wars campaign (already have 98,000 hex map that is 90% complete) and instead of using the format that an older Custer scenario used- which was the entire 7th Cavalry was a single regiment counter made up of 18 'companies' or 'troops'- I want to create each company as a counter and have the units within be squads (or even preferably individuals).
How do I define the size of the squad? What if I wanted them to be individual soldiers? What would happen if I set the unit counter as a company and put 75 Mounted Troop (Breech Loaders)?
So if I did this and left the anti-personnel, anti-armor and defense ratings the same, just rename them, what, if any downsides will I incur?
Can the increased supply needs be countered by adjusting the map/force level supply and readiness costs and the supply distances?
I hope my question makes sense, I've attached a photo of the original regiment makeup and the one I have made. Yes the combat power of mine is much greater, but the Indians will be using the same format and thus be relative and balanced.
Thoughts or advice?
