Squad organization and labels - Wolfgang - 01-15-2011 Curious about how units are labeled and organized: I'm playing Modern War and I noticed units within a platoon will have the following designations on their counters: 1st Squad A 2nd Squad A 1st Squad B 2nd Squad B How are these squads actually organized (command and control-wise) within the platoon in the game? 1st Squad, A and B teams 2nd Squad, A and B teams Or is it A team, 1st and 2nd squad B team, 1st and 2nd squad.

The game does not make that fine distinction. Inside the platoon , in broad terms, you have a commander and the 4 squads. I split them in A and B teams , but that distinction does not represent some form of in-engine command-and-control. In that precise example they are slightly different in their individual components, but that's due to their RL organization. RE: Squad organization and labels - Mad_Dog - 01-15-2011 I'll try to explain it, I think I'm right, someone please correct me if you know otherwise. In a US Mech Inf platoon, there are two squads, and each squad is divided into a A team and a B team. THe platoon is commanded by a lieutenant, and each team gets a sergeant I think. This doesn't really matter gameplay wise, except for how many officers you have to rally pinned units. These guys have good morale, they don't pin anyway. ;) Platoon 1st squad A Team B team 2nd squad A team B team Read the book House to House for a good idea of how they worked in Fallujah. |
