JohnK -> The insanely early Allied INF arrival times.... (7/20/2004 7:45:53 PM)

Beating an already badly-bruised horse here... But what gives with it? Looked at US Army early-game arrival times for unrestricted commands and posted in the OOB thread on it.... I really can't see any of them as "Abstractions" splitting the difference between small units not in the game or something.. The arrival times of these, and the NZ stuff and the Marines I posted on earlier, seem like either sloppy research, adopting a bad OOB from Pac War or some other earlier game and not reviewing it, or a deliberate attempt to give the Allies a lot more INF early in the game they actually had as some sort of play balance thing (which certainly seems unecessary.) Also a bit mystified why I'm the only person that seems to be noticing it; I mean, have any other Allied players playing a 1941 scenario looked at the embarassment of riches of INF units early in the game and sort of scratched their heads wondering "gee, why were the Allies panicking at all?" and then taken the step of looking at the historical arrival times? And I'm not even taking into account the reality that some divisions shipped "overseas" actually weren't ready for combat at all, and spent LONG periods, upwards of a year in some cases, training in areas that became "rear" areas like Hawaii and New Caledonia before finally seeing their first combat in 1943.
