Thanks for the rules and supplements, especially the late war stuff
which got us started without buying a whole load of gear.
Weve had some great games using the sort of force sizes you
suggested, and had some excellent results. I see what you mean't
about them not suiting everybody, one of the guys gets really pissed
off when his platoon does nothing, and feels that the rules are
unfair. I dont think he will ever be converted. For the rest of us
we are very impressed, especially with the way the games flow, and as
you mentioned the firing calcs are very simple. Makes a change from
some of the crap weve waided thru.
A couple of questions have come up. Can a unit use some of its own
dice to remove wounds, or is it just big men, the same goes for
spotting? Also when firing at a tight groups of sections should the
casualties be spread between all of them or can a section be singled
out, if so does any pinned or supressed result apply to everyone one
or just the ones hit?
I must say these are a great set of rules, and in my twenty plus
years of soldiering I can say that this is as close as I would want a
game to come to the real thing! A good training exercise for troops
leaders.
Keep up the good work.
Dave.
