The rules do have mechanisms to deal with different quality troops, but I hadn't even really thought about it, to be honest. My thinking right now is that both sides are dropping, so, relatively speaking, there's no change. I hope that makes sense.<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-27827801856844836662015-10-05T06:31:25.420-07:002015-10-05T06:31:25.420-07:00With all of the Whiskey officers lost (and presuma...With all of the Whiskey officers lost (and presumably the Soviet front-line troops also taking a beating), at one point do one or both forces drop in quality? I'm not sure if that is something to even factor into a series of games on this scale, or if the rules allow for different troop quality.

My apologies to Mr Rownnan!<br /><br />I did not resort to "magic dice" as they were hot for the Soviets, not you :-)Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-76035245428245213552015-10-03T06:53:26.517-07:002015-10-03T06:53:26.517-07:00Shaun,

As Ivan's buddy Kruschev said, quantity has a quality all its own. At least you didn't break out the 'magic dice' again; but I'm sure Panda will along at some point...<br /><br />Yeah, I was kinda hoping Rownnan would make it, he's scored the highest so far in terms of personal awards, but, alas, he was run down like a dog. And whaddaya mean 'down two named officers'? Hell, we lost four named officers just in this fight (you probably don't know him, but Rownnan is a guy from the Pendraken forum)!!! Every name on the roster is someone from the TMP, TWW, Pendraken, or Specialist Military Publishing forums, or someone that comments here on my blog.<br /><br />Yeah, we're down to the dregs of the Army, as if the Army wasn't merely dregs to begin with! Thanks for checking in man, now if I can only get Ivan to take a look.<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-24938621663959663852015-10-03T01:03:54.606-07:002015-10-03T01:03:54.606-07:00Wow.

Probably only one though - I am sure you really do pay the Soviets the best you can, no really, I am sure you do :-) I also really thought Lt Rownnan was going to survive - he had some amazing luck and thought it would last. With two named officers down, I am not sure if I want to be in future games (as if I would have a choice!) but you are running out of Team Whiskey units to field.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-1177484720399973132015-10-02T21:41:22.481-07:002015-10-02T21:41:22.481-07:00Randall,
Yeah man, it's been rough. Whiskey ...Randall,<br /><br />Yeah man, it's been rough. Whiskey has already had to dig out all the rear echelon folks and dragoon them into the line units, then 3rd Squadron and 4th Squadron (Whiskey) folded into one unit due to casualties. Not sure what they're going to do next, maybe use German Territorials? You can see the current roster here:<br />http://blackhawkhet.blogspot.com/2015/08/team-whiskey-fulda-gap-roster.html<br /><br />And look out, I've got officer vacancies to fill so you're likely to be drafted! ;)<br /><br />Also, I was taking a look at your blogs, good stuff! I really like your War Plan Red deal; I'm certainly into alternate histories and even Imagi-Nations (ergo my Cuba Libre campaign). And I just saw your 'Rounds Down Range 2' blog. You need to turn on the Blogger widget so people can follow your blogs, man. And don't ask me how, somebody had to explain it to me when I started and I don't remember now, sorry...<br /><br />I like your 5Core Company Command chart; I've basically got the same thing, just hand written, though I've made things even deadlier, and I make ATGMs take an action to reload. There's some other stuff as well, but I'm wanting to hold off on putting it out until I've played these ten scenarios. Ivan (the author) may want to do something with it, we'll see.<br /><br />In any case, thanks for taking a look and commenting, hope you're enjoying them.<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-45004990894089153392015-10-02T19:34:11.316-07:002015-10-02T19:34:11.316-07:00Is there anything left of Whiskey?
