Platoon ZOC rule

[CptCav]

VM,

As a former platoon leader in a cavalry regiment stationed in the desert at Ft. Bliss, TX, I can tell you that there is no way that a three to nine vehicle platoon could even consider having a zone of control that would halt the movement of an enemy force normally represented in the game (a battalion). And, this is not even taking into effect that WWII had much shorter engagement ranges.

The ability to screen would still be present; however, it would mean that either a company sized force would be necessary or the platoons would have to be deployed adjacent to each other. Just because a one-to-nine vehicle unit could be given a screen mission doesn't mean that it could be successful. The proper amount of force needs to be assigned to the mission.

So, I think that this is a good change.

Regards,
