Units Breakdown

[Big Ivan]

Some valid arguments presented for the yeah and nay of splitting units. However I find it interesting that in the JTCS 1.04 update the splitting has already taken place...... but it was doubled!

To transport units, it use to be a one to one function in the 1.02 system. Now in 1.04 system its 1 SP transport to 2SP of infantry. Guns still remained the same probably because of the thought for ammo and crews to tag along loaded.

My point is why the change at all? Simple, gamers were throwing trucks away too much so the rule was changed because too many were complaining about trucks being thrown away by opponents and not having to pay for it in VP's 1 vs 3.

In my opinion trucks/transports should be worth 10 times what they are now in the game. Yes 30VP's/SP! For a mechanized army transports are absolutely critical. They are the heart of mechanization! Without them you don't move very far and that can be bad in WWII and real bad today!

However I still see a need to have the ability to split combat units. Especially in trying to cover frontage. The system is already gamey and splitting units would not make it any worse. In fact tactically it would probably get a lot more interesting.

As for the artillery function, well lets just say I don't want to go there.

Cheers all!
