Night Disruption M44, etc.

[Strela]

Dog Soldier,

I am running tests now but at the moment believe it is full integer only. There is a second mechanism called replacements which does not take into effect morale but does take into account the local supply values.

This could be used to supplant the loss recovery for one side or even both if required?

Obviously this has most effect in a campaign and it is the longer scenarios I am concerned about.

The rule is as follows :

Replacements
In addition to the strength recovery described above, it is possible for certain organizations in the order of battle to receive replacements. When this is defined for an organization, then each unit eligible to recover strength as specified above can also receive a variable number of replacements based on a specified percentage of the unit’s full strength value. Quality does not affect the replacement rate, however, Isolated units and Disrupted units cannot receive replacements. Detached units received one-fourth the usual replacement rate available to them. When a unit has a Local Supply value of x, then the replacement rate is scaled according to the following:
• When x < 20, the replacement rate is 0.
• When 20 <= x <= 50, the replacement rate is scaled by (x – 20) / 30.

For example, a unit with a Local Supply value of 50 has the full replacement rate, but a unit with a Local Supply value of 30 only has 1/3 of the full replacement rate.

As far as QFM, this is set to on in line with the McNamara values.

To pick up on Raizer's 'Sauron' stacks (made me laugh as I watched LOTR on Bluray last weekend!), QFM maybe overkill as we made all German infantry battalions 4 companies to offset the German weakness when spread out to cover ground.

Now that said, we had this rule in place during play testing and though we saw superman like abilities, well manuevered Soviet armour / cav could upset the German apple cart.

I would suggest people turn off QFM if they have strong objections to German units scything down Russians but I actually believe the recovery rates for the Germans is the bigger issue here and as mentioned previously need to be toned down....
