Low Ammo OOB

[Cross]

I’m wondering if there would be any interest in a ‘Low Ammo OOB’?

This OOB would be identical in every way to the original, except would reduce ammo load-outs for infantry by say 40 or 50%

The purpose or repercussions of this OOB would be:

• Cause players to think about and plan for ammo supply
• Bring more realism onto the battlefield
• Reduce the amount of z-fire
• Bring infantry ammo more inline with artillery load-outs
• For longer battles, players would buy more ammo supply units
• Useful for short battles, or battles where you want ammo to be an issue
• May make PBEM campaigns less decisive

Different possible ways to lower ammo:

A. Lower existing load-outs by percentage (wouldn’t fix existing errors/inconsistencies)
B. Make load-outs lower according to what nations carried historically
C. Give every nation the same load-out (fair, but predictable)

With B or C, different weapon types could be given higher or lower load-outs for historic levels or to reflect how some weapon types would run out sooner.

Questions:

Would you use a low ammo OOB if it was created?

What percentage should infantry ammo be lowered to?

Which approach would you use, A, B, or C?
